Now it's the pilots' turn to ask the court for discovery, including taking depositions of certain managers. Some of the questions are included in the affidavit. The pilots' motion and affidavit were just filed 4/14/23.

But they fail to mention what every Kalitta pilot deals with every month: Once the bids are made by seniority, the company then shuffles pilot schedules around at will without violating the CBA. Apparently Kalitta had nothing more to offer on this issue, so three weeks ago they waived their right to supplement their argument. They must have a lot to hide. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vjd...ew?usp=sharingNow it's the pilots' turn to ask the court for discovery, including taking depositions of certain managers.

I've been thinking about this since I read your post and the links a week ago. To me it appears as if the documents and examples above prove the companies point about moving pilots around after the bid. The company contends that not having everyone vaccinated would put undue stress on the schedule and was unfair to other pilots if they couldn't use any pilot on any flight the company operates. The company has operated this way for years and certainly can claim past precedence reaching far back before COVID. I've read every sentence of the public documents on this case, but this particular argument seems to be counterproductive to your side.
