Yes, sir. The judge would pass that issue to someone else. He would give the company immediate relief.

I hate to be so frank, but this is almost a no brainer. That's how it would happen. The risk for the union to do what you suggest it too great. It's almost a 100% guaranteed loss for DALPA.

But, SD's memo is so unworkable, it's almost a 100% guaranteed win for us. The pilots who got PD's will get paid back, too.

We have the high ground. Why come down off the hill?

Fair enough. I'm not a lawyer, and will defer to your expertise.
Suffice to say your are satisfied with DALPA's performance on the matter thus far?

On this issue, I see that they are playing it how they have to. It's a winning hand. It just takes a while to materialize.

I hope the MEC will put it out for memrat.

Failing that, I hope they at least let the line pilots have a look at it for a day or two and provide our input before they vote it up or down.

Default 717 nods being redone

According to the MEC facebook page some of the 717 bids are being rerun. There goes my cushy line! I knew it was too good to be true!

Question:


To get rolling thunder going, do you have to put in green slip requests with conflict, or just a regular green slip?

Ie. Will they give you a trip that flies into your reserve days if you don't have a g/s conflict request in?

Its just a green slip.
There's no such thing as a green slip with conflict for a reserve.
