It is sad when it can be readily and quickly remedied. But it has no immediate benefit for established mainline pilots, thus the union will not take any interest in it. So they would rather concern themselves with screwing rj pilots out of JS privileges. The same rj pilots who will perennially be rj pilots because these same mainline pilots won't do anything to get everybody on one list, thereby creating a career path for all.
Sad, but every time this crap comes up, it is when these exact mainline pilots are threatened with losing THEIR priority are things then rectified. Of course, they can't possibly make the necessary corrections in just a month or two, so we have to make up some BS work-around - in spite of the fact that priorities were very easily F'd up overnight.
Also, not every flight is under a CPA. Many of the routes at my company are "at-risk" - meaning partners don't own squat. What city are "YOU" commuting from?
