Bad contract, mx hogs I hear.

So will all of the parts of the SLI be kept in tact? It has been said that there will be no furlough out of seniority. Correct me if I am wrong but SM said pilots will be able to bid what their seniority can hold.....so does that mean that pilots will be able to use their seniority given to them by the SLI but not have to abide by the fences in the SLI?

Did they sign a ten year contract with Delta today?

Wow...I hope that your anti FA posts have been a crappy day late April Fools joke.

OK so you may not have to pay their bills, but fact of the matter is that they are still coworkers of yours that are going to get screwed worse. You should care about the FA contract. Even if you really do only care about yourself then this one reason I'm about to say should make you care about the FA contract. If the company is willing to try the best to throw away the FA contract then whats to say they will not throw away the pilot contract.

I think that was just a general statement. I mean, heck, they don't even have the previous realignments figured out.

Looking at the timeline for the end of the Colgan flying, I'd say a realignment bid will be out very soon. That being said, the initial displacements will have "displacement rights" and will be able to go where their SLI seniority holds. The question is, how deep will the dominoes fall? Will there be massive secondaries like 11-09? The troubling thing to me is how quick this process is scheduled to happen.

I first see hundreds of Colgan pilots getting the summer off (maybe paid?) due to lack of training slots available for transition. I foresee a pile-up in the training department that will easily go into next year. Second, even if this next award is implemented, another will soon follow as the 900s begin dropping off line. My advice would be for the pilots who choose to stay at this company to not get too comfortable in any seat or base. Look at your standing bids. The last options on the your preference will be where you end up in 12-18 months.

This guy is just trolling...he has a history of it.

Can someone PM about who to contact for putting in my 2 weeks? CP?

If they go on unemployment you will be paying their bills indirectly.

if you think you will get furloughed, dont quit!! Wait to get laid off then file UI!
