That's the deal they were given, get over it.
Our guys are probably just making sure the furloughs are being given the proper treatment as they should.
I'm a 9E '07 guy, so they'll be below me. But that's not the point. It's the principal of the matter. And you say that your guys are "probably just making sure the furloughs are being given the proper treatment as they should." The time for that was *prior* to April 15. After the JCBA was signed and prior to April 15, all 3 groups had negotiations for the SLI. When that didn't come to fruition, we entered negotiated sessions with Bloch. When that didn't work, it finally went to binding arbitration. You mean to tell me that the WHOLE time, this situation was never addressed? That's hard to believe. They topic of XJ furloughees must have come up, and addressed, before April 15. So what's so special now that a dispute was necessary?
Shyguy - I don't know of ANY XJ pilots that didn't take the recall.
I am amazed that you have so much hatred toward fellow pilots who have done nothing wrong to you.
Also, I'm amazed at your lack of knowledge about the whole situation but you seem to think you have it all figured out. Amazing.
You are a disgrace to Pinnacle and ALPA.
If they all have taken it back, then good. Information like that is never communicated to us. They have 60 days to leave, but they are all still here. Honestly, I don't care whether they stay or go. But if lost any more pilots than what we have now, we'd be in a really big staffing crisis. When did that 60-day clock start? And please understand, I don't have hatred towards any group. I hold nothing against XJ pilots or the XJ furloughees. The only thing I'm a little disappointed about is disputing something when the disputing window already closed. We are where we are today due to cards that were dealt to us long ago. I don't have any of this figured out, hence, trying to make sense of it and see what's going on. The only piece of knowledge I do know is that Bloch wanted the MOU. That MOU spelled terms of placing XJ pilots at Pinnacle with longevity credit. It points us in the right direction.
