As long as a pilot complies with the contract to the letter and isn’t getting any CM special carve outs what’s the problem?
I don’t care how much a guy works or doesn’t work as long as they are adhering to the contract.

I’m merely pointing out the glaring hypocrisy of a group of people touting how important a college degree is to the “quality” of our pilot group……yet they can’t communicate using proper English we all should know from high school. Exceptionalism coupled with ignorance isn’t a good look.

Get your point Huggy but I hope if it comes to that point the company and ALPA will block a new hire until they get some UA hours under them. Happened in the late 90s.
Not a pay your dues thing, just not the best place to put a NH IMHO.
Hope you have a great 4th of July!!!’

Never understood this thought process. Why would we block new hires from going to WBs?

We were only a few vacancies away in 2019/2020 from this being a thing.

At the time is was about the training footprint. The wide body transition training courses assumed some Boeing and FMC knowledge that the typical new person may or may not have. Rather than go through the lengthy and and expensive process of amending the training footprints, the best course of action seemed to be no new folks on those fleets. I’m not saying it was good or bad, just the way it was. Hell of a nice problem to be having....

To that point specifically, maybe there is a significant investment associated with flying heavys? Remember the new hire who pretty much totaled that 757 a year or 2 ago? Wouldn’t want to do that with a 777 or 787. I’m just playing devils advocate. I don’t know the real reason.
