yet here ya are in the PDT thread talkin about an envoy merger...just givin ya a hard time

But anyway, to get this away from a completely hypothetical argument about something that is very unlikely to happen...

Anyone think they'll lift the seat lock this bid or next bid? I can't imagine them being able to staff the jet with the lock in place for this month, yet alone the next couple months. FOs hired in august got the jet with the last bid, if they wanted it. The guys who aren't locked clearly dont want the jet right now

I have no thoughts of bidding lawn dart until I'm forced to. I didn't realize new hires were being awarded the jet. They have not advertised it to new hire potentials either. I've seen people ask, but the reply was basically the jet is senior.

It's not going to new hires just yet, although I imagine it will go that direction soon enough. The thing is, nothing is senior at pdt lol. Which is why I wonder why they're bringing back the seat lock

There were several people that got FO jet who were here with little time and we have capt jet with less than a year here. We will see how this bid goes wth the seat lock. I feel there will be a tough time pulling some of the people on the dash right now off will be tough.

They will never merge us. Doesn't really matter

I have a feeling it won't be till the disaster of regional lift next summer season that changes are going o be made. I just can't see things continuing as they are.

They reimplemented the locks because they know that no unlocked FO will bid it. If those EMB FO slots remain vacant after the bid, they can put new hires in the Jet. Having the option to go to the jet as a new hire potentially helps staffing.

There aren't many of them that have two year seniority.. Otherwise they are going to upgrade in the dash.. Many of those fos have attempted an upgrade already.
