No sense in getting lathered up about it, this will end up in arbitration, the Company will prevail although in the midst of the improprieties, the Union has no teeth when it comes to the arbitration process ...................

Management will argue that if they included everything in one bid they would have included extra excesses. Also, the affected crewmembers number less than 70 because of the secondary awards in the 767 bid.

Management can excess as many, or as few, people as they want.

Let's roll back the clock - How about using a 727 SO excess bid to fill vacancies in CA and FO seats? Vacancies that appeared only after a subsequent excess out of those seats exceeding the number of SO's that bid to relieve into them.

If any group of bids was ripe for grievance that was it.

But you're right. I should have made it a rule that they can't violate the CBA. Or the rule about violating the CBA.

And another rule making it illegal to violate the previous rule.

Your whole argument rests on you proving that 13-03 and 13-04 were a single posting. Good luck with that.

I commend you for trying to find a creative way to keep those 70 guys from being excessed, but contractually it doesn't hold water.(IMHO)

Yep, I remember BC briefing; we needed to pass the HKG LOA back in 06 because we had an labor unfriendly administration and there was no way we would win a grievance with the current group and the current NMB. So how's this new labor friendly administration/NMB working out. Have we won anything, ever?

I think the number is closer to double 70. Each of the wide-body captains and first officers unneccesarily excesses precipitated another excess in the narrow-body captain, wide-body first officer or narrow-body fisrt officer seat in which they landed. I'd bet there are close to 70 potential grievants that landed in the 57FM seat alone.

Depending on where the 767 secondaries began, they may trigger additional grievants.

I knew you had a sense of humor somewhere in there.

Well, they are a little busy with more important issues right now.....


Last week, ALPA opened an Association-wide competition called Project Wingman. Participants will be competing individually to recruit new supporters for the PAC. The top two pilots who generate the most support for ALPA-PAC will win the grand prize: an expense-paid trip to DC where they’ll stay at an exclusive hotel and enjoy a VIP DC political experience, meeting with decision makers and Washington leaders.

All participants who recruit at least three new PAC members or who convince three current PAC members to raise their contribution club level will earn their PAC wings. These individuals will earn the title of Flight Lead and be recognized in the 2013 Roll of Distinction. Check out the competition rules and bookmark our rankings page. And then, start recruiting your wingmen. Remember, you’re facing off against all U.S. ALPA members, so starting early and being aggressive is important. Sign up for the PAC today to start earning your recruits. Current PAC supporters can earn their first recruit by raising their own club level.

Recruit your wingmen. Earn your wings. Grow the PAC.

Looking at the final for 13-04 my guess is the company wasn't being sinister they were just trying to make sure that current 75 guys had a shot at the 76. Saves a lot of training cycles in the only training program they are short slotted in.
