Default Who is going where?

What do you guys think on this next bid? I think:

FDA CA slots will be filled by WB FO's (most with those that bid SIBA anyway)
FDA FO slots filled by some NB SO's but mostly Purple Eggrolls/Crouisants

Which means, we HAVE to begin hiring again, right?

Do we have a pool now? If so, how many?

Don't know but it is a lot smaller today then it was yesterday.

We will fill the slots, you can bet on it. But we are no longer every ones first choice.

Where do you work? It's been a while since FDX 72s had SIBA, and a long time since we had European SIBA. Do we have other NBs I don't know about?

Maybe yes...maybe no. Just look at the number of reserve lines in the 727 bid pack. Over 100 in the left seat, a greater number for the FOs and a bunch for the plumbers. That's a lot of folks sitting around.

Haven't bothered looking at the other bid packs, but expect the -10 is heavy with RSV lines...therefore the pending excess bid.

Who knows what the next bid will bring.

Remember, bean counters rule.

I think that since this LOA is such of an enhancement to the CBA that my seniority will increase, because obviously the FDA's will go very senior. I even heard today that the union office might be moved to HKG since all of the MEC guys are going to move over there with the enhanced package.

Truer words have never been spoken. I'm so proud this pilot group stood up for what they deserve. So after this we can look forward to a 3 % pay raise and cola in 6 years. We have no leverage, It's the best we can do.

Sallright, just confusing as originally posted. Although, I'll bet a lot of CDG Capts are ex-NB FOs. That's quite a pay jump ($108 to $180 based on second year pay,) even at Paris prices.
