No, it isn't right. The point I was making was that the TSA MEC has been silent on the fact that their pilots are walking all over the eagle pilots contract. Both are ALPA pilot groups, and there has been no support from the TSA MEC over the lost flying.

In a way I'm glad AMR shifted the route to TSA, it allowed the EGL MEC to file a grievance and reopen the issue. AMR won the last one because at the time EGL was understaffed, hiring was in maximum overdrive, and EGL was unable to staff the 10 jets... the arbitrator leaned heavily on that in allowing a lease of equipment to TSA; then went on to state that had it been a transfer of routes or jobs it would be a violation and he would not have found for the company.

Well, here we are a few years later, and those planes are now flying transfered EGL routes, and EGL is planning furloughs while company planes are being flown by pilots not on our seniority list. Thank you very much AMR for transfering the MIA flying, otherwise we could not have revisited this issue.
