I don't even think we have 800 redtails on property much less as Capts.

Please provide me with the list of the 800 Capts all senior to you..

If you furlough 1890 redtails, and 110 took the FERB (early buyout), that leaves approx 400 redtails that did not get furloughed.

And you talk about the Capt that was slotted in as a 1986 hire, guess what he was hired in 1961. How old were you in 1961 ?

Schedulers and Dispatchers weren't furloughed, they were told move to DFW or hit the street. I agree with you on that aspect...not sure where that came from it was never part of my response to OFD's constant contention that the AA/TWA was fair and just.

A buddy of mine in recall class, hired at TWA in 1989 is holding "Super" 80 First Officer. I know that is only 19 years of service, but it shows that your contention that 20 years of service holds a STL Capt position (as of today), is not a true statement.

Sorry, my friend.

388 redtail Capts in STL. Not aware of any except in STL.
Lowest seniority number approx 8840.

7576,

As a 93 hire, are you going to tell me you are junior to sen # 8840. More than happy to cut-n-paste, what a 1993's sen # is...just let me know.

Just the facts, man..just the facts.
Fact
In 2001 Approx 835 TWA CA's came onto our list senior to me. In 2008 there are almost 400 TWA CA's in St Louis.
1988 or 1989 hire date gets a CA seat in St louis. I do not have a problem with that in any way. A guy with 20 years deserves it.
Fact
If your friend hired in 1989 is sen # 8840 and he was a CA at TWA he is only temporarily a FO and will get his seat soon in St Louis.
Fact
So in 2001 approx 835 TWA CA's went ahead of me on AA seniority list. After that they are ratio'd in at 1 to 8 down the list until a certain point where I think the last 1,000 were stapled.
Fact
I didn;'t mention anything about "slotted in as a 86' hire" when he was hired in 1961?
Fact
I will say it again 1988-1989 TWA gets a CA seat in St Louis.
My Opinion
I'll say it again, the TWA pilots were not treated fairly. I would hate to be based in St louis.
My Opinion
I do not buy TWA as a total Staple job.
