What does "proffer to displace" mean regarding the latest union email? I guess after those bids the company will upgrade new hires.

If you know ten pilots will get displaced then the ten most junior pilots will get displaced. Senior pilots can volunteer to be displaced instead of junior pilots.

Which one of you bad MoFos can answer this burning question once and for all:

Seat lock and flow. According to the contract, if a Captain bids for a new equipment he will be seat locked for two years. However, for the purpose of flow to AA he only has to "serve" one year of that seat lock.

Soooo...if a dashing, rather well equipped EMJ CA was about 2 years from flowing...and he bid for the 175...his flow wouldn't be interfered with? Am I understanding that correctly?

Sounds like it wouldn't interfere. Your flowing in 2 years and have been upgraded for 2 years so your out of a seat lock? Didn't know we had people with that seniority upgrading that long ago.

I upgraded about 6 months ago..forgot about the training freeze. Does that prevent me from bidding a different equipment? Damnit...

Without much of a hitch. I told them a date that I knew I would most certainly have the flight time, didn't keep them apprised, they called me about 5 months before my date to set everything up.

You should apply when you are roughly a year from 1500.

I think that's why they have that seat lock your reffering to haha.

Does profering to displace negate the seat lock?

When does the clock start ticking on the one year of hard time served? Award date, entering training date, finish IOE date? Could be a six month spread in there amigo. Tenemos mucho en pensar.

Just read the email. I'll eat my hat.

Great thanks. About 6 months out now but current gig may do an upgrade offer (take it or sit reserve) before then so trying to weigh out applying without giving a false available date or ending up unemployed for a couple months.
