A friend of mine told me this TA also codifies part-time pilot positions permanently into the work agreement. He didn't have any details. Is part-time just something that is in there to avoid furloughs potentially in cases like the pandemic, or can you bid part-time? Having retired early, while my wife is still working, seems less about doing fun things, and more about sitting around with my thumb up my butt. If I could fly 8 or so days per month on the west coast, I'd consider doing it, but the conditions would have to be right.

Do the AA regionals offering this have any restrictions on how it pays out?

That EFB notification will be abused the second it passes, if it were to pass. I am at a loss to see how SAPA, even though they are essentially just management, can put this forward with a straight face.
Luckily the sentiment is very very negative...so you know, it will probably pass with a 90% yes vote knowing this pilot group.

Why do you consider this an insult? Because of the requirement to include "any" in the bid? It allows FOs, if they wish, to bid for a CA position without even meeting upgrade minimums and receive what will probably be 2nd or 3rd year pay north of $140 an hour months before they go to upgrade class. Or if you are a new-hire with previous 121 experience to start at $135 an hour. Yeah, you'd have to go wherever they send you, and hope to transfer to the domicile of your choice ASAP.

This assumes this gets voted in. Plenty of wrong with it.
