Are they all going to the B727 S/O seat or did any make it to the F/O seat?

I think 6 are going to 27FO, the rest to 27SO, with the last starting 27FO training in a couple weeks. The first PN going to the back seat starts 27SO training the second week of Jan. The junior PNs get to stay as 11FOs for more than 6 months longer than the seniorest 6!

OK - it's official now. You're kind of a douche.

Since you're out of the closet, maybe you or one of your ******* buddies can enlighten us: what's up with the nugget hate?

They cost me an extra year in the back seat of the slave ship before I got to go to the -11 school. If anyone has a reason to be ****ed about the PN program, it's me. But I have no grudge against them. They had good timing and got a great deal. Wish it had been me, instead of having to work the nuke submarine panel for a year and a half.

But hey - I got passover pay. Every PN I've flown with has been solid, and most are pretty good dudes.

So I don't get it. You're so senior to these guys that your snide - ass remarks don't even make sense. Maybe you can explain them in a rational manner so the rest of us can understand.I thought most of the memphis wives wanted nothing to do with ANC. None of the rest of you want to live here. So ***? Just can't stand to see anyone else get a good Deal?

Yo Mental Cripple,

I thought I made myself reasonably clear (I also thought I was being empathetic with the PN dudes). I'm sorry if you have some sort of issue with them ... I don't. Thought I was being nice actually.

Not sure why you think they don't affect me ( i would say I've been 4.a.2.b'd up the a** by them!).

Best Regards,


Mark

I would say we have been 4a2b'd by ...

Management due to crappy planning

A Union leader who was hot for over 60

A crummy LOA pushed on us by our reps and voted in favor by 68% of people who didnt think it would affect them or, they drank the DW-BC kool aid and just voted yes. It will go senior....ha! Due to the industry leading LOA (), we have excess bids and hokus pokus being played with the contract to realign the seniority list

And, a crummy economy

You forgot DW's biggest stab, retroactivity for the over 60's. Without it, how many do you think would be hanging around headed for the 727 panel?

Or ALPAs (yes, we are ALPA) agreeing to a substandard compensation package for ANC which drove the purple nugget requirement.

As a PN I've had to put up with a lot of crap lately, but this one gets the prize. 4.a.2.b is now my fault.

MaydayMark it's official, you're the biggest "tool" on these boards.

BTW for those out there saying the PN program miss aligned the seniority list and the purpose of these latest bids is to realign the seniority list, please explain a few thing for me.

-- Was there a bid for these ANC/FO positions before we were hired and if so, wouldn't that have aligned the seniority list before we were hired.

-- Now that the recent bids have effectively made the HKG base more junior than the ANC base, how did they achieve the seniority realignment everyone seems to want.
