As far as I'm concerned, these should be seniority list jobs and if not I know ~1400 UA pilots who could easily ferry aircraft to/from MX and the paint shops.
I did a ferry from GLH two weeks ago and there was also a UAL crew with us to bring a newly painted 320 to ORD. The CA said he was a regular line holder and the FO was a DCA reserve. What exactly do the other pilots do and how many of them are there?
We have pilots something along those lines at CAL. We call them the "gummers", they aren't on the seniority list and are over 60 at least. Maybe we can get rid of both groups. F'n retire you old bastards.
