We as WO can't go into bankruptcy ourselves (we are not really companies, we are cost centers for ML) So if ML goes so will we. The current problems are a result of poor management and the completely unexplainable refusal of ML pilots to allow their fellow group pilots ie WO pilots to operate ANY rj's. What loa 81 basically says is that IF the WO ever get rj's, half of the pilots required to fly them would be furloughed ML pilots. What that means to ALG as of now is if we replaced all of our 47 Dashes with RJ's we would have to furlough 200 additional pilots and downgrade another 100 pilots (to make room for the ML guys). All this is out of an alg pilot group with just over 400 pilots on the list. Also ML guys would have super senionrity over ALG guys and get paid Cpt. rates in both seats. And after all this mgmt and the ML pilots actually say "they don't understand why we won't agree to LOA 81"
PS we are also required to give up furlough protection as well. Yea it's a great deal!
