Not gonna happen. There isn't enough AAG could offer for the MEC to put that out for a vote

Pretty sure it was never voted on by PSA or Envoy.

They probably don’t have to put it out to a vote, look at your MEC bylaws. Regarding being a Captain to be eligible to flow AAG has said that they want that as a requirement at all of the WO. I’m sure they’re just waiting for the right opportunity at Piedmont.

It’s coming. Won’t go for a vote either.

I get staying a FO if you just want to enjoy seniority. However Piedmont has several first officers that have failed upgrade training multiple times. In my opinion they have no business flowing to AA if they can’t pass upgrade.

I mean, they didn’t come out with a press release or anything... This is just what PSA management has told us. AAG wants all of their WO flows to have been a Captain. So like I said, you’re the only one without that requirement presently. I would expect them to try and change that.
