C&R #3 is the classic "no bump, no flush" language. There's a long history of what that clause means in seniority integration battles. The phrase "in and of itself" referring to the single list is where the problem comes in regarding displacements that result from management moving jets to new bases.
The NWA "ninja" claim is ridiculous on its face.
How can 777s be called "replacement jets" for 747-400s that never left the fleet? Its astounding to me that the NWA members on the DRC would vote to uphold that frivolous claim.
My suspicion is that this is the first claim and they just wanted to establish some "street cred" among the former NWA pilot group so they went ahead and forced it to arbitration. Even though they know it is doomed.
Intent and causation will probably kill it too. I guess we will find out in a few months.Originally Posted by Check Essential
You are correct as to the "claim" I dreamed up. Its a causation problem. Mgmt is the intervening force.C&R #3 is the classic "no bump, no flush" language.
