When we read Beaver and V1andgo posts, this what is refered to as
"The Brotherhood of Pilots" Atlas style .
Nope - that was meant to be a comment on what this company managers are capable of. Nothing more.
Polar's FEs are already listed on the merged seniority list (merged FE list), but they are listed as furloughed with no bump no flush - however the award now says that they were furloughed in error.
As recent history has proven, these FE's will most likely be $$ paid to sit at home while awaiting the merger. At that time, AAWW may legitimately furlough - but within the constraint of the combined FE list.
And it would be easy enough for the company to bring them back, base them in LA and then when the merger does happen, since there are no classics in LA, to invoke the no-bump, no flush Harris award, and furlough them.
Or for less $$, Polar can make these senior airmen cruise pilots, and be free to furlough 30 of it's most junior FO's today.
There is no way in HELL that I would fly a -400 with a 250 hour, probably C172 airlines, FE in the seat. How many of the 37 actually have their license and type ratings? Do you think they would be willing to go through the Atlas training program? I seriously doubt this will happen.
