Talking to some Very Senior WB Capt's today and they were under the impression that if the BLGs were reduced to 48/60 and subsequently the company decided to furlough; that after two months the company could raise the BLGs back to 68/85 while we had pilots on the street. I haven't seen anywhere in the contract where that contingency is addressed. But I have been known to miss a thing or two.
Anyone have any wisdom?
Not IAW either the spirit or legal application of the contract. Consider the source...probably a lot of wishful thinking in progress.
Meetings going on discussing many of these type issues, and your union's take is VERY different than the pilots you overheard.
Short on details as discussions are ongoing...but in short...those guys are wrong.
