Additionally remember that management controls the interview process of line pilots trying to become PIs. So, when the Union says "in case not enough pilots are interested" remember that actually means in case the company doesn't want to hire expensive line pilots when they can just actually hire inexpensive retired pilots.
This is a total Scope give and we will have given the control of how much scope entirely to the company with no restrictions other than having to advertise the jobs every two years only to have the company say not enough "qualified" applicants applied!!! |

We have hired over 5thousand pilots since the merger. What most of those pilots don't know is that FSB was something we Legacy Pilots did not have before C2012 and when questioned at one of the Road Shows, our own union stated- "They'll never use it" Fly Safe, Fly Professionally and Fly the Contract Always Motch Sorry Bro, but lCal had it. 25-11-O-1: Should operations require, a Reserve Pilot may be used for “Airport Standby” duty. 1. The Duty Period as an Airport Standby is limited to five (5) hours. An assigned Trip Pairing must have a scheduled departure within that period. If no scheduled departure is assigned within the five (5) hour period, the pilot must be released for at least the length of a Base Rest Period. 2. The five (5) hour Duty Period for a pilot on Airport Standby begins at Report Time. |

How is using 65+ guys in the sim scope concession? If anything it gives them another pathway vs being booted out after hitting 65.

As a Legacy Continental Pilot, I do not recall FSB in the contract I was under from 2007 till 2012. If you had it, WHEN?
It seems that it was a concession to lower it to No Pay as it sits now, in your (And ALL Legacy United Pilots) case. FS, FP & FtC Motch |

someone posted a pic of LUAL Pay Rates from your 2000 contract and it’s just nuts how LUAL pilots have still not fully recovered what they lost. as far as FSB at LCAL, not sure which contract it was in there but if SCd says it was there, I don’t recall it in the contract in 07-12 and never sat airport reserve while a LCAL guy. Maybe I got lucky or it was a fleet thing.. |

TK manning is clearly the unions leverage behind this contract. The company recognizes this an never wants the union to have this leverage again - this is the reasoning behind the inclusion of the PUPs clause. If the company cannot staff the training center with the standard supply/demand that market economics decide within the seniority list than this clause allows an additional pool of labor that has zero leverage to make future changes.

Why can't the CAL pilots just simply have our LTD overpayments back with no strings attached? Clearly ALPA legal told them it was OK to release the money, otherwise it wouldn't be so obviously attached to the TA. Very dishonest and disingenuous in my opinion. Typically, when other forms of overpayment are concerned, I get a check back in a reasonable time frame once the error has been discovered and agreed to. WTF? That's a bad look. |

At NWA, our contract required that not only did IPs have to be a seniority list pilot, it had to be a captain instructor. For every IP they hired, that meant they needed to add another captain position. This survived even bankruptcy.
After the merger, we went to the DAL language on this, and it was a major giveback worth probably 300 jobs. |

Maybe I got lucky or it was a fleet thing.. B-2-b- A reserve shall be limited to seventy-five (75) actual flight hours. A reserve may exceed the monthly credit limit as long as his actual projection does not exceed seventy-five (75) hours. However, a reserve may fly up to eighty-one (81) actual flight hours provided his flight pay credit does not exceed eighty-one (81) hours. coupled with 5-G-5-b- A pilot on standby duty will receive five hours (5:00) pay credit and have his total allowable monthly flight time reduced by five hours (5:00) for each standby assignment which does not result in a flight assignment. Made it so the scheduling really had to need a FSB to use it since they would be losing 5 hrs of availability for the month every time one was assigned. Hit those hours and you were off the rest of the month. Again different times now. Our mindset back then seemed to be “give me enough pay so that I don’t want to work extra” vs today’s love fest of PPU and getting max W2s |
