So no AE flows over 55 or 50 years old depending on the arbitrator's 10 year to upgrade date.
I know I am confused, but that is a normal condition for me.
From the latest Eagle ALPA hotline:
there have been questions about the “time to captain” clause mentioned in the award. We received clarification from Arbitrator Nicolau on Thursday that the previously calculated time of 10 years will apply to all flow-through pilots. A new calculation will not take place.
