AviatorTx said:We had a single MEC, but not a single seniority list. The flow up was only 1/3. When the flowback happened, it was another story. The CAL pilots transitioned to our seniority list "mostly" in a block. This is what created the defacto SSL you spoke of.
Many in the union tried to seize this opportunity to get an actual SSL at this time. Just like when the last SSL push really started to take off, this is when CAL announced the second spinoff of Express. The first one died with 9-11. Once the spinoff was complete, the SCABS at CAL that did not even want us in the same MEC, used this as an excuse to not push for a SSL, even though technically we had a defacto one at the time. We are just little jet pilots. If we want a job at CAL, we should earn it like they did.... (sigh)
We were inches away from getting a SSL at one point and time. Too many senior pilots at CAL were just not interested as it did nothing for them.
Now it's looking like we are not even going to get another flowthrough... Anyone got that number for the RJDC???
Wow, I quickly skimmed over your post just as I was out the door yesterday and have been thinking about it ever since. That has to be one of the saddest union-related posts I have ever seen. I have to ask, what about all the flowthrough-ees? Aren't they seeing the benefits of a common list? Don't they outnumber the SCABS especially when you were all one single council?
