I thought there was a clause in the contract that guaranteed 9E the best or equal to the best movement to mainline. Is this still accurate or is that a figment of my over-served imagination? What are the current minimum numbers guaranteed for 9E pilots per class? I know there were numbers tied to the SSP but I don’t know what exists now.
This whole situation is a mess. The biggest thing for all to remember is; EDVALPA didn’t create this, DALPA didn’t create this, a group of execs in Atlanta that would like to remind you how important it is to stick to your deals created this situation. JG, RG, Johnny Giggles, and the perpetually tired Ed have created this.
The bridge agreement guarantees Endeavor 109 dual class RJs out of a total fleet of 193 aircraft. This agreement extends the bridge agreement 2 years past the amendable date (2031) since the TA also includes a contract extension.
We are contractually guaranteed to have the best career progression to Delta still
SSP was done years ago. The non contractual DGI is only 180 pilots a year and they heavily metered the class dates
