In this example doesn't the TA go away, but we gain First Class DH, 5% raise when things turn around, LTD bump, etc...? Seems like a no-brainer when you put it like this?

Seems like a plausible point, but it’s not:
if they furlough 5000, This LOA will have sunseted long before most of us get called back

I totally get that and I’m definitely leaning no, but I’m going to try to fully understand what I’m voting against. Another way to look at this TA is that things will have to turn around before we even consider recalls. By the time that the company starts that process this deal will have likely timed out or satisfied one of the triggers to terminate he deal. Recalling 4,000 people isn’t going to happen overnight, besides if we go deeper than the allowable ~2,000 furloughs, the deal is off and we have our current contract.

Not true. This sunsets the moment anyone hired before August 20, 2016 is furloughed (T.3)

I could be missing something, but I’m having a hard time imagining what category you will be on Reserve, yet were able to hold in those flush (engineered min/max numbers) displacements.
EWR777Fo with a cancelled displacement who has not yet been trained, who doesn’t want to be the 8 ball commuting to reserve. Can still take their displacement award to be a line holding 737 fo where they live, but they get NB fo pay and forfeit pay protection, read sec G-2. All the fo’s junior to him that can no longer hold the seat get the pay

Question....

Has anyone thought of the possibility or probability that say June comes and company furloughs 2000. So PCarlson decides the throw another MOAB Or any displacement just prior to that. Thus getting furloughs and then removing a significant part of the pay protection. only to now have everyone on short cycle or perhaps no cycle to get further pay reductions...
what is to stop company from just issuing another displacement bid in 6 months once everyone has short coursed over or back only to put it out again and now no pay protections.

I would totally do that if I were MGT. especially just before I cut 2000

if I am not making any sense I apologize but I am curious.

that makes sense… I’m sorry if that comes to pass for you. That really would feel like a carveout against you. I thought I read language about people being able to take their displacement on a one for one basis and pass that cancelation along to someone else. My legalese is barely conversational though

bid what you want....want what you bid.

I don’t think there is anything stopping any future displacements, but we’re pay protected to June 2020 pay as long as the TA is in affect (F.1).

So how does one bid accordingly to take advantage of a sweet heart carve out that might affect me if I get a furlough letter in the future and have my fellow pilots senior to me pay for it?
