References to "don't bid for MD80 CA if you want Airbus CA" keep popping up, including in this latest email.
The only thing in the work rules about this speaks specifically to transitioning to a new fleet type. If you are an MD-80 FO who bids for an upgrade to MD-80 CA there should be no seat or fleet lock. I hope the judge is brought up to speed on this if they start denying newer captains an Airbus transition.
Otherwise what happens to new captains when the Airbus comes to their base? They get bumped out?
Also, GBs email lists a ton of upgrades... Are those for the HOM/TDY base? Seems like that keeps getting bigger and bigger.
I feel for any newhire. Get ready to come here and be stuck in our new junior base--permanent TDY! Good luck with that! Enjoy never being home...

So now a newhire can plan on...
-Paying their own travel and hotel to the interview
-Paying their own hotel for training
-Paying for whatever food the $24/day per diem doesn't cover
-Paying for rental car gas and baggage fees and submitting an expense report to have it returned next month
-Making roughly $2000/mo after taxes first year
-Being in a hotel all month every month with single days off and no way to get home indefinitely
-A looming strike

It's a wonder that they still get apps. Hope you all can fix this, but it sounds like it's gonna be a battle. After all the TDY, junior folk will just want to get back to a base.

Point of clarification: You don't get the $24/day per diem while in initial in LAS.
