I guess you all didn't notice the usual disclaimer of "
**The Company may not award secondary vacancies created as a result of the 10-11 Vacancy Award** "
I.E. the company fully expects all "vacancy" positions to be filled by Saab captains, which will NOT be filled therefor making this a defacto Realignment award.....
Now IF NO Saab captains choose to bid over to the jet....
HAAAAA HAAAAA HAAAA HAAAAA HAAAAA
.......
HAAAA HAAAA HAAA HAAA
....
Sorry that was uncontrollable after the cancellation of the flow....
Just about every Saab CA missing the cutoff is now bidding the Jet to avoid being fenced into a Colgan prop base. We are used to the NWA ( Soon to be PCL Jet bases) Most want to stay there ( at least til SLC is open which would still require being on the jets )
Yea, guys with that backfill clause this is a realignment. There will be no recalls because the 4 900 spots will all be filled by senior Saab captains jumping over with the end of the flow... I would guarantee the seniority numbers for those moving will be senior to 400 in every case and (other than an oddball CRJ2 going to CRJ9) all Saab Ca's and there will be no backfills or recalls. This is a realign.
