One question I am going to trow out there is this. The union is stating that this side letter is adding job protection for 400 mainline pilots. My math shows about 200 new hires and NWA and 700+ at DAL. If that is the case it is 900. But if this only takes effect after SOC it is only 400.
So what is it? All of the 07 and 08 new hires or just the bottom ones after SOC. If it is the later, then this protection does not start until we have that one nagging stipulation from Bloch met, that they can furlough from each list independently prior to SOC.
Makes me wonder what the REAL language of this Grievance agreement is.
