Full time FPL and reduced BLGs?
Did anyone catch the latest comm from LEC500? There was a resolution that was trying to address the pay of MEC Officers and others on fulltime FPL if we enter 4.A.2.c and have reduced BLGs. It died in subcommittee. So, line pilots take a haircut (to protect the jobs of the junior guys, which I am fine with), but the Officers keep getting their 98hrs per month? Give your rep a call or the LEC 500 Chair if this bothers you!!
BTW, are any of the junior pilots concerned that the NC is talking about redlining all of 4.A.2.b/c? That's the only think keeping us from furlough right now, makes no sense to me!

If one of them are your rep, you could ask them.

As always, if you don't like it you are free to run for office next time around. While you're working 9-11 days a month and getting bought up the assumption should be they are working many more days per month than that. When times are flush and guys are bidding carry-over and/or picking up draft galore making well north of 98 hrs/month will you come out that the MEC officers should get an override to make them whole? Good God, THIS is what you are worried about? "He's making more than me!" Well waaaa waaaa waaaa, news flash - somebody is always going to make more than you. They are making what we have in writing that they will make. Period. Dot. Move on.

That's the whole point of of re-evaluating the utility of 4.A.2.c It's not stopping a furlough because they can't furlough. So why are we giving them the option to manipulate the SAM and reduce BLGs in an attempt to stop something that can't happen anyway?

It's not stopping anything. Are you really that clueless? You can't go more than 29 pilots from the bottom without hitting a 777 FO. The company would need to completely re-align the seniority list on the fleets that can't afford to lose pilots before furloughing. Do you see them doing that? Never mind that the ridiculous size and length of training out our bids would take far too long to commit to that course of action if things turn around.

I agree that the current pilot distribution is making it hard/impossible for them. I think you are smoking crack if you think they can't though. Re-evaluating is one thing, redlining the whole thing is another. Are YOU that clueless? I think a dose of 4.A.2.c and a furlough notice will snap you out of it.
