These numbers are inline with early estimates of 10% reductions minus the shortage we had. It looks like all the 2008 newhires are in real jeopardy. What a waste to spend all the money qualifying these guys then send them out on the street.
What's up with the DFW/ORD CRJ swap? Was this planned before hand? Is DFW CRJ not available at all anymore?
Also, if someone gets displaced out of a t-prop into a jet (not proffer but involuntary) can that person bid back to prop on the next system bid? An example-
A Saab FO in Dallas has for a displacement bid any jet anywhere in the system and so his seniority will hold ERJ ORD. Later he wants to go back to Dallas so a vacancy opens for ATR and his seniority will hold it. Can he go back? Please included the Contract language where this is addressed.
