Found my line in the sand for next CBA….
Explain what you would do with the language to help the displaced people, because everything I've read so far would bite you. If you're a CA you can currently downgrade into your base of choice. If you want all displaced people ahead of anyone new for secondary vacancies you wouldn't be able to downgrade into your base of choice. You would be stuck as a displaced CA. We have got to stop eroding seniority. The only thing to do with the language, in my eyes, is make it more expensive for the company and maybe force them into a different staffing model. On the staffing model front, SWAPA has been talking about scope lately, and one of the things they brought up is how the legacys use block hours for their stafffing model for wide bodies. This is how it should be done. If it were done this way, DEN wouldn't have shrank a fraction of what it did.
TLDR version, stop going after your fellow pilots and go after the company for the language.
