Hi Kiwi,
i have heard it’s still in the “straw man” phase. I don’t think everybody is discounting a join of lists. It’s more of a “let’s talk about this some more” situation.
Have you done the math on how long it would take you to be senior enough to join the Jets? There’s nearly 1100 jet pilots and 600 odd Link Pilots. With a current and forecast retirements averaging 20-30 a year from the jets, IF you joined the Links today you can easily expect to wait 20 odd years for a FO320 or SO787/777 job!! (Unless we expand
Once the Link guys realise they’ve got to wait that long for an entry level position you will then see “turnover at the Links going gangbusters again”.
Just my two cents worth as it doesn’t affect me, How about keep both Jet and Regional seniority list separate but interview (a loose term) from the top of the Regional seniority list down? Let’s everybody have a piece of the pie.
