That’s actually the reason why their side SHOULD get to vote,but I’m totally ok with things as they are. Now is not the time to shut down progress over things like PBS and such. For now, there are still two contracts, and they can vote on the one they currently work under.....assuming they have negotiated something?

It doesn’t really circumvent seniority. You bid hard lines, your seniority holds whatever it gets.
The ILIW is a 24 hr period that opens up and is a mad dash to trade trips with whatever got dropped into open time via vacation drops/training/etc If there’s “coverage”, which there is for maybe 45 seconds, you can trade down a 4 day or two for a day trip, and then rebuild your line as you need. The floor is 60 hrs, so you can’t go below it. There’s a science to it. People have multiple windows opened and sync their computers with the company software so at 7:59:58 they know they can hit submit and be right on the 8:00:00 dot to get a trade in (that’s ORD at least). It’s legit over in 1-2 minutes.
The SLIW is whatever garbage 8 hr 4 days are left that aren’t even built into relief lines. At this point in the month, there’s zero shot of dropping anything.

A handful of CRJ pilots were permitted to bid over to the ERJ before management realized the CRJ pilots were stampeding out the door to other airlines and they were in danger of not fulfilling the contracts with AAL and DAL.
The first CRJ's go over to LXJT in October our of ORD.
I imagine with the implosion of the CRJ pilot group new hires will be offered that soon. I'm going to guess we will lose about 150 pilots in September. Possibly more.

From the LASA side... The general feel I get from our group is "Let do this"....
I think everyone gets that there wasn't time to go through what we went through last time, and that while we would have liked to have been included.... so be it.. move on and lets get this done...
We're rooting for you out here...
