Great question! I have know idea if you can do it but I'm going to try it next time I get a trip. Wish I had thought of it.

I'm 99% certain the pilot to pilot swap board may only be used by REG pilots, and not RES pilots.

Exactly!! But we all know that there's not gonna be any special deals for the ER..so no deals for the 74 dudes.

Displace them and train them like everybody else has been doing for over a decade.

A contract is a contract.

Not sure, but I can't find it in the contract, but where in the contract does it say that the company cannot do this?

Just looking at loss of lift suddenly, dropping of Haneda-SEA deal, looking for more 717s, buying 330s, maybe deciding we don't need 700ish pilots to be hired next year. And I heard there was an emergency meeting of the merger committee last month or something.

I really don't know squat on all this, just posting speculative flame-bait here ;)

Talk to a pilot involved with the merger committee at the last pub event. He said he heard the rumor too but that it was a training event for two new reps on the committee. So the rumor is just that. Believe what you want......

The 340 is nothing more than management FUD to scare us into begging for buyouts.

Or it could be exactly what they have put out all along. Hiring 85 a month was approved until APR of 15. They also put out they expect the hiring to continue at that rate. It's has just not been officially approved and won't be until probably Dec.

iceman-
Its not in the contract. Its federal labor law.
Comes from Supreme Court interpretations of the RLA and the NLRA.

Terms of retirement and pensions, healthcare, etc. are all "mandatory subjects of bargaining". Once there is a collective bargaining agreement in place then the company is prohibited from offering different terms to any individual member than what is in the agreement. Individual contracts are illegal.

If they want to change any aspect of the "wages, benefits or working conditions" covering any member of the bargaining unit then they have to go through ALPA and the RLA process.

There was an interesting case on that very subject right here at Delta. 20 years ago a group of Delta pilots voluntarily took 5% pay cuts to help Ron Allen save the company. They thought ALPA should do more to support "Leadership 7.5"
Management accepted their offer and cut their pay.
ALPA sued and won. Those guys could not work for less than the contract rate of pay. They could donate their entire check to Ron Allen if they wanted to, but Delta first had to pay it to them.

I think the Cowboys and 49ers cheerleaders should take the field.
It would be more interesting. Romo looks awful.

Since when did the Niners start having cross dresser cheerleaders?
