As far as I'm concerned, these should be seniority list jobs and if not I know ~1400 UA pilots who could easily ferry aircraft to/from MX and the paint shops.

We used to do that anyway on reserve.

From: IAH 737 CA
I did a ferry from GLH two weeks ago and there was also a UAL crew with us to bring a newly painted 320 to ORD. The CA said he was a regular line holder and the FO was a DCA reserve. What exactly do the other pilots do and how many of them are there?
We have pilots something along those lines at CAL. We call them the "gummers", they aren't on the seniority list and are over 60 at least. Maybe we can get rid of both groups. F'n retire you old bastards.

Whether you agree or disagree the position of UAL Test Pilots, the important take away from this is not ones pleasure in watching an employee group squirm for their job. The important take away is why are they being asked to reinterview for their job? Could this tactic be utilized against other employee groups?

Not on seniority list and under separate employment with the company.

I don't know that for sure but I know these guys do a lot of the rigging flights and stall series and other stuff required after heavy maintenance and certain other events.
