Hey Chip, all of us Chautauqua guys have to go through Shuttle Indoc, Shuttle Groundschool, and Shuttle Sim's to fly the 170's, so what is your point?
8hr, I know that we all have to go through the shuttle stuff to fly those 170's, that was not my point. my point was that I didnt see why the shuttle guys are making such a big deal out of a 170 with "Shuttle America" painted on the side. They cant fly them yet because they arent on our seniority list.
Why do we "have to be on the CHAUTAUQUA seniority list"? Oh because your contract says all flying done by "the company's parent or any subsidiary of the company shall be performed by the pilots of the Chautauqua Airlines Pilots' System Seniority List". In that case, shouldn't the Chautuaqua pilots fly the Saabs since they are now a subsidiary?
slapshot, our CBA says exactly that. As of right now, not one single original Shuttle pilot is on the Chautauqua seniority list. Not one single original shuttle pilot is in training, or is planned to be in training on a shuttle 170 until the list is merged. We have numerous Chautauqua people in various stages of shuttle bridge training to fly the shuttle 170's. The difference between them and the original Shuttle pilots is that they are already on the CHQ list, always have been, always will; even if they now have Shuttle America ID's.
