If a furloughed pilot from NW decides to flow back there has to be a position available for them to flow intoThere doesnt have to be a vacancy, 90% of the compass list can be displaced in the event of furloughs at NWA. Their seniority would be placed ahead of those CP pilots who had not yet been offered FlowthroughWhich is the entire list since no one has been there for 30 months yet. Any pilot who had turned down the flowthrough to NW would retain their seniority at CP and fall under protected statusTrue, see previous comment. This is added incentive to stay with CP so that CP doesn't lose all their experienced CA's every year.There is a limit on the amount of people who can Flow up at any given time. I dont have the breakdown in front of me.
Also, any NW pilots who flowback, will not be offered flowthrough again. I'm sure they can still be called back, just no flowthrough.That doesnt really make sense, because if a NWA pilot is furloughed and are awaiting recal, why would they need another "flowthrough" to get back?
As I said, I'm a newbie, but we combed the contract the first day and grilled LC as well. Hope this helps.
