If we need street Captains so bad, maybe it should be negotiated for something the pilot group needs. This is the kinda nd of leverage we have been waiting for. Please don’t come on here all clueless and say “I don’t mind having street Captains”

Our contract allows street CAs. I don't see how we can use this as a negotiating tactic. The only negotiating power we have is to leave. Every other thing we have tried to do doesn't work.

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.

Currently we have no CAs on the line that wasn't awarded it on the last bid.
Side note: during a bid the order or training goes in seniority of preference bids followed by reverse seniority of displacement bids. So if getting Ca seat first matters then preference bid it.

My guess is they’ll soon try to offer DEC’s more QOL incentives. This is where the union can have negotiating power and get some wins for the rest of the pilot group.
