All the ALPA unions jointly requested there carriers to prioritize spirit pilots with CJOs for earlier class dates.
The biggest pilot union in the world appears to be a tooth less tiger on this
Not toothless, just that this is a very minor issue in the grand scheme.
Besides, doing so would be to the detriment of some *other* ALPA regional/LCC pilots who either have been waiting for flow, or have a CJO. They have to tread lightly on this sort of thing.
If I was a 10-year regional CA swimming in a legacy pool I wouldn't be too happy if ALPA arranged to insert a guy in front of me in line who had left my regional after 18 months to roll the dice on ULCC. Class dates have very real seniority consequences... for life.
