Haha. Almost every time I debate with myself do I shave or not. Do I even put on the uniform and just go incognito to the airport.

Just because Pedro4pres is advocating sport bidding or whatever he calls it, doesn’t mean there’s some of us that want to move on up and out because we have other options once we tick certain boxes. The whole street CA thing delays that, even if it’s only by 2-3 months it’s still has an effect.
I bet if you went and told someone in management that you had 1,000 SIC and wanted to upgrade they would probably get you In class right away. Pretty sure they’re that desperate for captains.

I advocate people bid exactly as I bid. I bid for whatever I want to bid. I do not advocate ANYONE to bid a certain way. My only point was that was our only tool to use to push back.

How is having street CAs delaying your upgrade?

Someone junior to him was able to upgrade (out of seniority) in an upgrade class spot that could have been his (and a number of others who have their bids in since the last bid closed in January). Why our union is allowing this is beyond me.

By not running a bid and putting street CA’s in class ahead someone who otherwise meets the upgrade requirements but is simply waiting on a vacancy bid. Let’s say someone hits their 1000 hours the day after the dec/jan bid was run, they had to wait 3 months for the next bid. In the meantime someone else who just joined goes through CA training and is on the line before them.

I personally have no problems with street CA’s, but if they want to send street CA’s right into the CA seat just run a bid monthly so everyone else that wants to upgrade that meets the hours also has the opportunity to goto class. Obviously they don’t want to run monthly bids for the obvious reasons that you pointed out earlier.

Check out 15.H.4 in the contract. It talks about this scenario the way I read it.
