Short answer? No.
Long answer? No.
December job vacancy should be out Wednesday or Thursday. Upgrades have been averaging 25 per month. 208 Captains have retired the last two months. It will be interesting to see how many upgrades they can generate for the December job run.
That's just for the initial upgrades. Multiple that by n/b to w/b upgrades, n/b FO to w/b FO, and you're just starting to scratch the size of the question you asked.
Does the union grant relief? I think that is beyond DOA. That issue generated the largest input from the membership to the leadership ever. If anything the negative response has grown. No relief = manning/training crunch continues.
So absent relief outside of Section 6 the solution is via Section 6. Does the company want a deal? How quickly? Will the company choose BK? If yes, when?
Sooooo.... when do you think AA will restart recalls?

Seeing how many training events these retirements create, I think that they will continue calling for January classes. These 200+ senior w/b CA retirements in a way create a mini-MOAB. 7 to 8 training events for every retirement.
I will be interested to see what the vacancy bid for December comes out with.
Pardon my ignorance.....what is Section 6? I assume that is in ya'lls contract. What type of relief could mgmt provide?

"The Railway Labor Act contains a provision called Section 6 which is the part of the Act that provides that each party, Management and Labor, can serve a notice on one another on the changes each side wants in the next agreement for the following contract period. "
