It's debateable whether the LOA was enforceable--the McCaskill law relates to differently-unionized lab groups, the LOA was a mutually binding (and still valid) agreement between two ALPA MEC's...we could split hairs over it, but I'm thinking our MEC and the ALPA national folks definitely did a favor to the XJ folks by not even attempting to push that LOA
Nic...
The LOA did our pilots a favor when they had the choice to be furloughed. If you think that it had anything to do with "screwing over" Pinnacle pilots, you're just out there in conspiracy land.
Simple.... furlough, or get some seniority at a DIFFERENT company.
Right now we're the same HOLDING company.
LOA, unenforceable, not applicable, don't even want to touch it. Very disappointing that Pinnacle pilots think that it should be held over the Mesaba pilots' heads.
Many companies like ours would be lucky to get an LOA with a different pilot group for any PORTABLE LONGEVITY.
