Once again, Beav . . . . The Polar FE's are unassigned and will have no base . They are now to be MADE WHOLE with ID's . They will be paid $$ to SIT AT HOME (just like they were when with the Holden award), and per Arbitrator Bloch - they are NOT and CANNOT be furloughed (unless Polar furloughs everybody).
That whole PFE to -400 cruise pilot is pure BS
It is a legitimate FAA / ICAO program that has been implemented with waiver (Qantas in US airspace is but one example).
. . . . and I do not work for FedEx, nor am I #%& Bill.
