Contract Admin said what I’d been thinking. 100% in accordance with the PWA and also 100% an abrogation of my seniority. If I’d been less senior in May I would have had reinstatement rights prior to my VD on the 88 being retracted.

CR sent me a terse email asking why I was complaining, my seat lock had already been removed... correct, when you replied 10 days later it had in fact already been removed. Thanks.

At least I’ll start having new hires trickle in under me again!

So how long does it usually take for the training projections to come out? For the May AE it was only two weeks and now we're up to three weeks on this one.

At least 3 weeks.

3 weeks and counting...

In the mean time United had a vacancy, distributed assigned training schedules already and I bet will probably have another vacancy published before our training projection gets published.

Go fly for United then.

I know you're joking, but this is always the response here when someone points out something good about another airline. "Go fly for Southwest then!"

So with that mentality you're saying that we should just always settle for what we have and not strive to make anything better?

No we should strive for better...I just feel the need to give it to Mr. “AE is out.”

Oh the irony... ROFL

It's just a knee jerk reaction from a fear of change and fingers still gripping their collective pearls from TA1 being shot down.
