There are two contracts in question. One that lasted about three years from late 2004 to 2007 around July. Let us call this the one the old contract. There are four understandings that must be met before going to the line after your 36 months. None of these take into account if the company is not hiring only if the company is “reducing the crew force” or furloughing. The new contract is from July 2007 on. It includes among other things the stipulation that if the company is not hiring at the time you will not be brought to the line but you will be the first one called before they go to the street, your safe and sound. The interview process for all is the same as a new hire with one exception, you have to give a 15 min instructional presentation on some sort of aircraft related system. You are essentially hired to the line pending completion of your contract as a corporate pilot or pro. If you were brought on under the old contract they could only keep you from going to the line if they were furloughing and they are not. Now we have a bit of a dilemma, the company is not furloughing and we should have to honor the written contract. Over time we will have quite few people in this dilemma and it will need to be addressed. You can only string this event out so long before people start complaining. Is this of any interest to you yet?
