QF Losses

Anyone who asked me I told to do LWOP to protect your position

I just didn't(& still don't) subscribe to the "push" from AIPA that it was all just a bluff & only take it you had a solid alternative

Also a push from the mid-ranks to keep a protective layer beneath them

So it was my view that a CR from the bottom up is a distinct possibility & calling yourself Iconic etc ain't gonna change that

You may have a different view & that is your right as it is a free country (another topic there I guess)

I don't disagree that a CR from the bottom will be how it's done, but I also don't see it being necessary. I guess the main risk is the company using it as a threat to get any variations they want over the line. If they do want to run a CR program, what's to stop them doing it after everyone starts coming back from lwop in Sept? It would be a king dick move but nothing to stop them doing it.

But I still believe that with all the progress being made around the world that there is finally some light at the end of the tunnel and CR won't happen. It's mostly a PR battle now.

The been everywhere man(Andrew David) confirmed yesterday at a senate inquiry that more job losses are definitely very possible.
He announced he has worked for 6 airlines so the next place for him could be back to VA to join Jane or maybe Rex,he is running out of places to go.

I advised the opposite. By the time the company would execute any CRs all of the LWOP takers would be back. IF the company were going to execute CR (and I don’t believe they will need to) the juniors who took LWOP would be back on stand down and not protected by anything - only with less entitlements to pay out. Smart move by the company to reduce costs. That’s all it was - fear based bluff, that worked too well! Now paying FOs to do SO lines as they are short.
