Returning to Republic
 

What exactly are the parameters in the contract that allow a pilot to leave and come back to Republic with their seniority?

Usually it had to be involuntary separation through furlough or volunteer for a furlough. Either way it usually has to be due to a company RIF of some kind. I would reach out to ALPA to see what options you have if any.

It’s in the CBA article 9. Basically you have to be in good standing when you leave, and leave to a domestic US carrier with 86 above seats or 100,000 pounds weight. The company has refused a returns that didn’t meet the requirements.

We’re not alpa and that’s not what the CBA says

Yep, read that someone that went to a foreign company wanted to come back but was refused. They may allow you to reapply, but you would be back to a new hire and starting over with seniority.

We are not represented by ALPA, FYI...

I may add that as a pilot group, this is the rule that you want. It is really meant for people that move on to the big 6 and things don't work out or they fail out of training. The company and union allows you to come back and hold your seniority, which is perfectly fine.

What you don't want as a pilot group is people leaving for a quick buck at some contract job, leaving for a Flag of convenience (or some other foreign airline), or laterally to another Regional for a quick upgrade or some other reason and comes back once they find out the grass is not always greener and immediately fall back into their seniority.

Those people should not continue to hold seniority over you while you stayed contributing to the company. The union and the company smartly put in provisions in the contract that prohibit this type of thing from happening.

It’s HALF of your seniority is retained, not full

If it is less than a year it is full seniority.

So do you work for us?? Because we are not ALPA. IBT. And there’s contractual language that allows for return within 12 months. Don’t comment on these forums when you don’t know

Hey look the forum police!

LOL. Pretty accurate in this instance though.

Yes, i'll give give Gravity88x that cookie - for whatever reason it was in my mind that YX was an ALPA carrier at this time, mi culpa - maybe it's age showing or perhaps I just had the chemtrails button on too long that day. But I am aware of the fact that YX is in fact represented by the honorable International Brotherhood of Tru...Teamsters.

That being said, the OP still needs to talk to whoever the appropriate collective bargaining unit is and find out what exactly applies to their situation. Regardless to which company they work(ed) for "return to works" always have if than statements and hoops to jump through on which internet forums are not the first stop in interpreting.

But I'm sure with that type of tenacity to skip the important part and go straight to policing the forum is what makes Gravity88x a great gear puller for the person making the decisions in the left seat! Should keep it up, doing a great job!

YX was an ALPA carrier before RJET.

How about people who are ignorant on a topic or carrier just keep their worthless comments to themselves?

I know I’d prefer that.

The “important part” was still grossly incorrect, skipper.

Well, everything about your post was inaccurate.
