I believe the VX proposal has most losing relative seniority and gaining in longevity. Then there’s some VX pilots who lose both.

 

Seattle BPL has a Jr CA with seniority # 1304. He is a 2/5/14 hire.

 

Gaining longevity??? The company is going to grant years of service to VX pilots in accordance with where they land on the final approved list?

Longevity is only good for vacation accrual and nonrev priority anyway.

 

To the first question.....Absolutely NOT!

And any VX guys will never have ANY change to their longevity regardless of where they are placed on the list. They will always be at a disadvantage to their longer tenured AS cohorts.

Lets look at what each proposal does to the junior CA at VX.

In the VX proposal 20 CA from the snapshot are pushed below the CA stovepipe line which then places 20 AS FO's into their position.

In the AS proposal the number of VX CA's pushed below the CA stovepipe line as of snapshot is increased to 137 with the same number of AS FO's then residing above the stovepipe line.

Obviously the VX side is much more exposed to harm with the possibility of base closure, vacancy bids, and probable reduction in the Airbus fleet, if not a complete elimination of the Airbus. Not to mention operating with a management group who has the ultimate latitude with ZERO scope protections.

 

You all need to find some hobbies other than internet. Like finding out this sweet screen name was still available.

 

Internet: you won!

Well done sir!
