Ideal AWA/USAir Seniority Integration

[LearLove]

Looks as though we at MDA are getting the shaft. From the conf. call it sounds like Parker said that the "deal", meaning Wex/Rep and the 170's is still a go.

With that being said some guys (not me) around here think it will be a "change of control" and we (MDA guys) will go with the deal seniority and all bla bla bla.

Having been involved in a situation like this before (ALG to PDT situation), I feel that sometime this summer that we at MDA will see 2 or 3 planes per month leave and go to Rep/Wex. Thus MDA will furlough 20 or 30 of us at a time until we are no longer. I’m sure we will be offered positions at the bottom of Rep for starting pay. At the same time we MDA guys will go on furlough status with airways but everyone on furlough status will be shafted in the AWA deal thus once again we see the short end of the stick.

Also for us CEL guys at MDA it looks as though we will not be able to go back to PDT (unless we reapply, get hired and start over again).

At best it looks like an MDA pilot can look forward to a position at the bottom of CHQ, the street or starting over again somewhere else.

Hey LearLove,

If you are working at MDA, you are obviously furloughed from mainline. Correct???

NO, I am from Allegheny (CEL list). FWIW my ALPA card now says AAA but as of yet I do not appear on the mainline seniority list. There are about 120 pilot s at MDA from ALG and PDT (CEL list guys).
