D. Defined Exit from Section 4.A.2.b.
1. If SAM meets or exceeds 68/85 CH for two non-peak consecutive bid periods the minimum bid period guarantee shall return to the normal limits
SAM for May is 66:54. We'll be bought up to about 67 anyway starting Sep.
You be the judge. With the few retirements trickling in, I think we may exit this year. Wildcards are folks that sold back vacation last year fearing the worst taking it this year. Residual irritation with staying in 4a2b over a year without being paid SAM like the DC10 loafers got. It all adds up.
As for hiring -
2. If the Company hires a pilot(s) and adds the pilot(s) to the Master Seniority List, other than pursuant to a court order or arbitration award, the Company shall exit Section 4.A.2.b. effective with the Date of Hire.
