Angry Just Say No!

At last count there were roughly 55 guy's in the "Q" for command on freighter. ALL are on the CX seniority list and have been here for some time. ALL were required to take and pass a PCA. All are Cat A'd. Most have been waiting for a year and have been told another year. The YVR argument does not stand as there are a number of guy's waiting for other bases including JFK. NR's arguments are for the the fact they had no plan for all the freighters and again fell into the sewer but came out with a trout in their pockets. If Oasis had not shut down they would be struggling. THIS IS A VILOATION OF THE COS AS IT SAYS NO DIRECT ENTRY CAPTAINS PERIOD. The Oasis guys are NOT required to take a PCA. They are offered DEC right off the bat. I met some of them during their interviews. The direct entry FO RAPID COMMAND thing is utter non-sense! Argue what you will but this must NOT be accepted and MUST be stopped! If we accept this why not DEC's on pax fleet on bases? You know their is a moral side to a contract as well. But CX does what ever it wants when it wants. Enough is enough. Man I hope the AOA does something and soon otherwise we need to pack it in boys and girls.
