Allow? If it was successfully grieved then yes, they'd have to "allow" it.

They don't have to though; they can always park the 35 or so large RJ's that only exist because of the flow down. Their choice.

We absolutely need to press the issue because that amount of large RJ's only exist because of the flow down LOA. They have always been contingent on that. They can either figure out a pathway for 500-600 pilots to flow to at the top of a regional's list, or they can park 35 large RJ's. Or they can bring them in house. Their choice. That would be a powerful layer of protection against furloughs which benefits every pilot on the list junior to #1, and an even more powerful layer of protection for those actually furloughed if it came to that.

Well worth the "union resources" to fight for considering the extent of its benefit should we prevail (and IMO we would). but even if not, well worth the effort.

Just consider it our scope optimizer.

disagree, those jets (36 to be exact) still exist in the DL system...so that’s a win for management. If you think furlough protection is a waste of time then what else is a waste of time?

Where’s the language tying jets to this LOA? I’ve read the entire LOA in question and there’s nothing in it tying jets to the flow program. What’s worse, there’s nothing saying if the LOA is terminated that jets will be removed from DCI.

then write an LOA with the company who operates them now. Pretending that the flow LOA with compass still exists is absurd.

The right to operate those airplanes still exists, or did that go away as well?

With United cancelling class right before should some of us be worried going into class next week? I know they had MAX orders so it seems like they were hurting before the virus, but a lot of us waiting a week before class have already resigned at our previous carriers? Time to worry or should we be ok?

What are abs? Think that Bachelor pilot might have some.

no, management said at Velvet last week that they have no intention of decreasing new hire classes due to this coronavirus
