I was told crew planning is calling it a realignment bid, but when questioned who was getting moved out they said that no body was. So, the response was "well, that is a vacancy bid - not a realignment." then came the crickets...

One should always bear in mind that, in Louisville (where crossing the Ohio River into KY on I-65, a sign proclaims "Where Education Pays" LMAO), English is a second language.

They likely still haven't made up their minds what they're going to do, and won't until each person in the chain of indecision has created evasion for accountability.

"Where decisions aren't made, fingers are pointed and blame is assigned"
That should be the slogan on the website...

That's correct, buggs. The stapler will come out of the desk drawer if we don't get enough cards and we go to accrete them. Imagine their morale then when above them sits every single member of the 109 furloughees.

RLA requires 35% for accretion

True.....but UPS can fight it tooth and nail and make it expensive for the IPA. With 50% plus 1, it is a done deal.

Again,referencing the RLA, 35% is the only number that matters. 50%+1 means nothing to NMB. That only comes into play if members of one union try to form a new union i.e. DPA movement at Delta. NMB doesn't look at the percentage, if the 35% requirement is met, then and only then will they rule on class and craft.

True....35% will get the ruling on class and craft. But UPS could fight that for a long and expensive time. That is why IPA wants 50% + 1. Then there is no class and craft issue to be considered.

Future furloughs cancelled. Current furloughs remain in effect.

This mgt group looks more pathetic everytime they make an announcement. I'm sure they're going to try to keep the last 109 out as long as they possibly can but they would look better if they just announced a recall and set up training dates. Hopefully this gave #110 and up some peace mind but the reality is that nothing changed today despite this "big announcement"

From System Chief Pilot Capt. J Barnes
After evaluating 2011 flying and staffing needs, the pilot furloughs scheduled for January 30, 2011, will not occur.






All it says is they will not occur. Nothing about the future furloughs are cancelled.
