How long are you looking at reserve in LGA?

The sky is not falling. Expansion is way bigger than you think. More (way more) airframes than what was announced are planned in the next year. Defined pathway IS on the table, terms are the sticking point (ask your union reps who have been in the meetings).

It means that even though you weren't selected for that position on the initial award. They may award it to you in later revisions if necessary due to a number of factors that planning is unable to account for. Like secondary vacancies and withdraws etc..

It's means you didn't get the award, but you are in line to get it if people withdraw.

Who said my QOL is bad? I am lucky. I hold weekends off and 16-18 days off. I

I have just been making general observations. I'm not complaining.
