No one is asking for special favors, just that your date of hire determine your seniority at the company. That’s the way unions work.
I’m at spirit. You missed the point a bit. I’m glad the JB pilots voted for ALPA. I’m saying anyone that voted for Alpa and then wants to argue for straight DOH is being hypocritical bc that’s not how it works and it’s not how has ever worked. Further, the voting to become ALPA was in no small part bc the JB pilots knew that consolidation was coming at some point and being in the association would come with protections when that time came. If they truly though organic growth was to only future I’m not confident ALPA would have made it on property.
