Sorry if I was brusque in my explanation. Sometimes I forget that not everyone is a APA/TWA troll who doesn't really know or have access to the information on the history of Letter 3/Supplement W.

Back to the Flow Backs; they were treated exactly like Eagle pilots. Their displacement wasn't automatic. Once Letter 3 expired, they kept their seats despite some protests from our First Officers. It was only when Eagle had a major system-wide displacement bid that the FB's were put into the position of bidding what they could hold. Since their Eagle seniority began when they initially flowed back and since Eagle time-to-Captain is about 10 years, many were displaced to the right seat per their Eagle seniority.

While I think this was fair, some APA pilots do not since they think APA pilots are automatically superior to any Eagle pilot and, therefore, those "Eagle pilots" should have kept their seats.

Run from having to explain if you wish..........

What makes guys like you so deserving?

(standing by for your next dodge oh master of what, 4 or 5 usernames in the Eagle longe?)
Your trollish behavior is obvious and, since you think you know so much, then you must also know that what Letter 3 says. They deserve this because that was what the letter states and intended.
