It makes sense, if we are losing 40 FOs a month, better to just make ATL the new dumping ground for new hires instead of displacing out of bases like DFW, DTW and ORD and then having FOs leave those bases for new jobs.

Question is the CA side, so you get your initial dump of CAs wanting ATL the first month with voluntary vacancy movement to ATL. And then what? They stated they have too many CAs in those 3 bases, its not like 100 CAs are going to quit in ORD or go to ATL to solve their overstaffing CA issue, same with DFW and DTW. It seems this slower staffing idea will benefit pilots in the "displacement" bases, but I dont believe them for a second that it wont cause involuntary displacements on the CA side down the road. Because soon they open IAH and hope what, that CAs in DFW now say "I want to commute to IAH?" outside of the 5 or so that live down there?

Again, I like this way much better, but it wont prevent involuntary displacements, maybe just lessen them on the CA side....hopefully.

I'm thinking both ATL and IAH will generate a lot of voluntary movement.

It doesn't work like this though. If 30 FOs leave from ORD, the vacancy bid HAS to have 30 spots in ORD. Sure it could have more in ATL, but those 30 MUST be replaced.

It was verbal diarrhea.... New guy doesn't know how to communicate, makes me think he's going to do great at whatever Bendo sent him to do...

Part of the email the MEC sent last month

“Should Spirit determine they are unable to comply with the terms of our CBA, we expect that they will seek a negotiated solution that will need to be ratified by the entire membership.

Unfortunately, there is no way to avoid the displacements. We cannot simply tell them “no” or refuse to participate. This is their business to run, and they have determined that for the enterprise to succeed, they need to add crew bases and “right size” others. What we can and will do is ensure that your rights under the contract are protected.”

So strap in for the “we are going to present for a vote a compromise with management to reduce the number of involuntary displacements by agreeing to…”

They essentially told us the company is going to do what they want and they will seek a “negotiated solution”.
Depending on the terms, if it prevents mass forced displacements while providing for compensation for the pilots, the MEC has to at least listen to it.

Right, but until something is negotiated and signed, the above remains.

We’re #lanyardstrong though. I’d take beards for a displacement.
