Very true. He indeed was not allowed to finish his term.

We're talking about a bottom Captain (probably going to be knocked back to FO when more DC9's get parked).
On the other hand we have a NYC7ERB who has not flown a significant amount of time in the ATL base in the last 10yrs.
Neither one is doing anything bad. They are both 100% legal and appropriate to be running for the offices they are.
But to say the guy who has been flying FO in ATL for the last 15yrs and now holds a fluke bid to be a bottom Captain on a doomed fleet is somehow less able to relate to FO's :confused: I don't see that holding water.

Here's another question to the guys that love DPA so much: your fearless leader talks about the benefits of seniority block representation.
Under that system, both of these guys would still be running against each other, would they not?
And wouldn't ATL & DTW probably end up with a lot of reps flying there :D Potentially zero reps from the really tiny bases like SEA and CVG :eek:

Fluke bid? Looks real enough.

DPA? What does that have to do with the discussion?

Take a look at the March 16 award you're talking about. It shows a conversion of 01 Oct planned back in March.
