Someone posted a thread on our forum about it and in the same day people have said they have been approved and will be gone for 6 months, others 2, others 4... i dont think the company will have a hard time finding people who want to take a nice break from this place.
This LOA is Bull, I tried to take it and was turned down due to staffing numbers. But we are still sending Capt's to YUL for right seat training and guys that need the time away from this place are being turned down.... Any word on how the NMB, PNCL and ALPA are butting heads? Are we as close as we were to a TA as in December or great steps have been taken.... Any one with inside knowledge!!!
