However, in January several pro Instructors and a corporate guy came up on their 3 year service obligation. They were told they would NOT be going to HKG if they came to the line but instead would go to the back of the 727. They were told the reason for that was in the event of a furlough or displacement the company did not want to move them.

I won't speculate on where guys might go yet, but this is a good time to get the contract out and understand what options are available. If you have questions, call the ALPA office and talk to the contract guys. If you don't get the help you need contact your rep and we'll try to get you the straight answers. Again--I'm not trying to blow you off by sending you to experts first, I just want everyone to get the most accurate and complete information. I'm learning more and more about the contract all the time, but I still won't say I am anywhere near an expert.
