Not a fence. Just lack of vacancies. They are supposedly hashing out this latest wrinkle in our lovely merger at WHQ. It just never stops. I'm trying to find some humor in it.
It ain't over until the fat United pilot is in his 737 captain seat.
You want to use your seniority? No Vac-eee, No Bid-eee..
Interesting to see what gets decided. The correct path or the grievance path.

Bumps are based off of TABs not activated pilots. So if a TAB has been assigned under the SFO MOU they can bump the crap out of SFO.
I don't know how many of the 400 are left untrained to bump. But you're getting setup for an expensive lesson.
I find it funny how S-UAL pilots always explain it away when they are possibly about to be hosed. Wouldn't you rather see the TPA, UPA, SFO MOU, and ISL enforced?

So, I would expect there will be a lot of bumps as you are speculating, but I still don't see how that is going to limit the number of SFO 737 bids that come out.

They're discussing this latest wrinkle in our lovely merger at WHQ. Vacancies won't end, they'll just slow way down if this plan wins. But time is money.
In a CCS memo the S-CAL pilots were told they could bump according to the TABs. Any CAL pilots want to chime in?
Hopefully the company will take the correct path not the grievous path.

Seniority is forever, sure. But it doesn't do you a damn bit of good when the bumps fill the place up for a year. Then the bumpee's are protected by the company shrinking the 767's through attrition and going fat on manning reducing vacancies. The S-UAL pilots may be in for a shock. We'll see soon. Hope I'm wrong.
