Hawk Circle - A long, long time. If I'm not mistaken, the entire VA seniority list is on the bottom of the VARA list. So once all the previous VARA F100 FO's get a command, it's open slather for the VA pilots list. Then any new recruits. It's an absolute dogs breakfast!

So VA group date of joining list went to the bottom of the VARA seniority list and vice-versa on the date of integration (Jan 2014).
Clear as mud?
That's the standard way of integrating seniority lists worldwide.
VA are added to the end of VARA's list, VARA are added to the end of VA's list. Anyone joining after that is at the bottom of the single list. Gives crew who were in VARA at the time of integration first shot at promotions on VARA ops (including ATR).

What I do know is that I am seeing outside recruitment on to the 737 right seat from both VARA F100 and also external applicants.
By the time integration goes thru probably won't be any contract pilots left to go on the list. They are leaving in droves.

As it turns out now all the Tiger contract peeps will be given full time positions, and with that a position on the GDOJ. They will get these positions ahead of people already on the list without bidding as is the normal process. Another VA cluster f_€%!!
EOI's to go to TT were put out to all VA pilots a few months ago with very little interest. All the TT contract pilots would go to the bottom of the GDOJ......what's the problem?

Well from what I was told, it was a very light on information EOI and only one week to reply. With no input from the unions on the deal it’s not hard to see why there was little uptake. I’d imagine a good number of SO’s and ATR crew would have considered it given time to consider it. It was the company’s obligation to put it out, they did the bare minimum as usual. Also from what I’ve heard the ones that did express interest where denied anyway. So now we have a situation where contract pilots will take narrow body jet positions in capital cities ahead of guys on the the list. If VA cared less about seniority they’d struggle to show it.
