I know the union is working very hard on bringing as many furloughed pilots back as they can and I have all the respect for the hard work they put in specially M.P. But when the furloughs started back in 2008, the union did not show much interest "or at least did not communicate with us" or efforts to try to bring furloughed pilots back. The big topic of interest was eMaestro.
I’m glad that things are changing and the union is paying more attention to the staffing levels at Comair. I hope their efforts will bring all of us back to work very soon.

Negotiated before the furlough in the CBA. Not after the furloughs happen. You don't like it when the company tries to change the rules, what's the difference?
I understand people had to maybe sign contracts and other things that would prevent them from coming back... I'm sorry.
But that's the deal.

Many will accept recall because they fear it is thier last and only chance to get back into flying. If they have the ability to bypass they may be more likely to stay at thier current nonflying job a little longer because they know they can return later.

I think you should check that line of thinking. I understand your wanting to be recalled back quicker. The ability to bypass recall while maintaining seniority will actually encourage more to by pass and get you back on property quicker.

So I may not get back as quickly (I don't think it would make a difference) but in the long term I would have more numbers behind me.
They have had 2 years to figure this out. If they would have proposed it back before any talks it may have been easier to get done.
