"Tell 'im he's dreaming"
"Get ya hand off it Darryl"
Please leave the emotion of "jets" out of this.
It 'ain't likely to happen and if it does, who cares. If jets did arrive some time before the next Ice Age, a very small % would actually get a go. Those who have already been there a long time and those who got the job in the last 5 yrs aged 25 would get a shot 15yrs from now.
The vast majority in the middle may have a seniority shot a couple of years before retirement. Would you really want to hit the books and go through the "pineapple process" just to earn some extra coin in the last couple of years before retirement. No thanks, don't need the stress at age 60.
This EBA process is about Dash 8's, end of story.
Anything else is just a distraction, a distraction that the pilot group have bought about on themselves mostly, to be honest.
Management must be laughing their heads off?
