LCC management moved the E170 flying onto the LCC Operating certificate in early 2004. Per the Mainline contract, any flying on that certificate must be accomplished by pilots on the US Airways Master Seniority List. Any pilot that flowed up to the E170 from PDT or ALG (which took place in 2004) received a US Airways seniority number on their DOH.

No the original argument was about the company misguiding potential recruits with a flow that does not exist. The point was made, I don't think any potential new hires care about a pathway that existed nearly 10 years ago that was still not a true flow because it passed through another carrier.

Btw.. how many actually made it through with that?

About 90-100 pilots...not sure of the exact number.

Here in SBY the most junior F/O is a build up line holder for July. Only 4 CA on straight reserve. Open time is premium for the whole month. Things are about to get interesting...

Stay safe out there

This does not sound like the PDT that I left with its caring environment of " Ask PIedmont" forums and "most on time departures awards".
Apparently he pulled his normal crap to the last new hire class and they did not like it. A bunch of them sent letters to the company detailing his actions and it got him in a little hot water.

Since he has SF in his back pocket the guy thinks he can get away with anything.

Ya things are definitely getting interesting. Here's the catch 22: They need to upgrade FOs to fill the spots for all the Captain attrition. However, because they are so short on FOs, they can't afford to upgrade anyone to Capt. until they get new FOs. They can't get new FOs because the schedules are so bad (from the low staffing) and no one is upgrading to Capt. here (among other things). No one is upgrading to Capt. because they can't get FOs....and so on

Exactly what's happening at Eagle, and hopefully becomes a trend at ALL airlines. Supply and demand. Sucks for the guys waiting up upgrade, but good for the pilots as a whole.
