because they are idiots. They may have an AA senority number but were never employed by AA. Anyhow the flowthroughs were suppose to occupy newhire classes there for when the first new hire class starts there should be 50%(?) flowthroughs and 50% off the street.
oh by the way I don't qualify for floughthrough I just see the lawsuit for what it is. Stupid.
Idiots also are those who spout off without facts.
There is no "lawsuit" for flowthrus to come over to AA before AA furloughees, either flowbacks or not.
What there is, is a GREIVANCE filed by Eagle's MEC hoping to have flowthru's included in the recall process in order of AA seniority, so they would flow over mixed into the recall by their AA seniority number. They (Eagle MEC) are hinging their position on the past APA presidents comments in another hearing.
It is weak and baseless, with virtually no chance of success.
Why do it then ?
The concensus of many, is that the majority of the MEC are mid-level seniority pilots, who want to throw the old geezers off the property as fast as possible, using cost benefit to the company as an excuse. If successful, it would open the floodgates for upgrades and most of these mid-level pilots could advance rapidly to much better pay/schedules.
They're giving their best try, but the senior pilots are becoming very suspicious of the MEC's motives. There will likely be a lot of representational problems within Eagle in the future. The pilot group is polarizing which will likley only get worse.
Letter 3 final language NEVER provided for a pure 50% flowthru occupancy per class.
