I couldn't agree more. But if they pay us the same, it'll shut up a lot of people for a little while... Even a systemwide staffing bid wont help us, because they will fill vacancies with the new Saab guys and tell us we wont hold it like you said. The only thing the staffing bid will accomplish is remove this imaginary "seat lock." And last I heard, transitions were doing training with the new hires (minus basic indoc of course).

My worry is staffing on the 1900. We are very shorthanded in the NE. No one is being trained in the 1900, and we have pilots from up here going to FL or headed to the Saab. Who the hell is going to fly these routes? http://www.ibt1224.org/Downloads/GIA...ct/GIA_CBA.pdf |
I hope that turned out for those wondering what the contract says I don't know if I can share it but I am guessing it is ok since it is a legal doc.

Thats what we are being told. Ran a search for the word "seat lock" in the contract. Turned up nothing. Hm......anyone smell that?

Read the contract NO seat lock on new equipment and it is new equipment so maybe you should read before you speak
|
your telling me that if all those regionals got 737's and said it was a seat lock and hired new people into the left and right seat you would be happy?

Honestly couldn't care if I flew the Saab or not, it's the money that matters.
From the contract: "A Pilot will be pay protected when a junior Pilot is advanced to his new Status (Base, Equipment Type and Seat Position) before a more senior Pilot is advanced to the same Status. This pay protection will be at 100% of line value that the Pilot would have held in that new Status. If a Pilot declines training in seniority, he will forfeit eligibility for pay protection." The "would have held" part may be the loophole that management is talking about when they say "you can't hold the Saab, so you can't get the pay" |
Be interesting to see us FLL pilots get displaced when they pull the 1900 out and still no transition class, while new guys are holding FLL and the Saab. No new info from the union to protect us.

Same thing happened there in 2007 and 2008. All supply and demand. Happened to me. And here I am
Takin the class on the 18th.... Never know how things could work out |
