The "8 month" issue is guys that were beingput through class around 9/11 and were sent home (furloughed) prior to checkride. Once they were called back and actually finished their checkrides it had been "up to" 8 months. LOA 2.V applies and it's no different than Mesaba guys who started class, 10 promised -900's were removed and they were furloughed. Some are using details without all the facts.

Yes, I am a 9E guy and don't appreciate the knocks toward our group. If you are on the other side of the fence it's not personal. This is business and a fight for agreed upon parity. Keep in mind the 9E guys still did not get longevity adjustments that XJ and CJC still have. We get our raises and increased benefits "up to" 8 months later. Typically 6-8 weeks behind our "brothers".
