Please explain what you mean by saying “it’s just what is happening in accordance with our contract.”
What is happening in accordance with our contract?
Where does it say in our contract that our seniority list will be pushed aside? This is the first time it was going to be used for its proper purpose, but it gets ignored and a new one produced.
Looking at the Pilot Policies and Procedures manual, PPP-6-2 under Promotion is clear how people get promoted. It mentions three things ‘seniority, qualification and suitability’. Seniority from the Captains Seniority List determines who the more senior captains are, so in my view it should be reversed for demotion.
Where is it written about demotion based on date of joining?
Who has negotiated the new terms of conditions for all pilots without previous consultation?
Who benefits from the new list? Why change a list that has been there for years? Has anybody involved in the draft of the new list moved up in seniority? Have a look at the Captains list issued by the chief pilot on July 2004 and then compare it with the new list. Have a look at the names that have moved up.
