The Polar FE's are unassigned and will have no base
Really, how long do you think that will last? Why do you think Atlas just opened up the LAX base again? I can guarantee you they will be assigned a base. And I bet it will be a base with no classics. And even if you are correct, with a no-bump, no-flush clause worded the way Harris worded it, there would have to be a vacancy at the base, for them to move into it. The Harris award said it all, once the merger is complete, they cannot bump an Atlas FE out of his base or seat. Bobb and Robin should have taken the company's deal. It would have preserved the Polar FEs jobs far longer than this will. Typical ALPA short term thinking.
Qantas is not a 121 airline. The FAA already has problems with FOs being cruise captains so I doubt you will see them allow a 250 hr wonder into a -400 position. Why do you think there is a 1500 time limit for an ATP?
L38, laynlow, fuloughfodder, robrilly, Capt Vac - all the same to me. You are all mouth pieces for Bobb and Robin. No thinking for yourselves, or even reading your contract for yourselves. Just regurgitate what Bobb tells you. Put his spin on it and it will look OK.
