“EWR D8 Pilots: Even though you were displaced effective 11/1, management is requiring you to bid for November. They will positive space you to/from IAD to sit reserve.“
EWR D8 pilots on reserve until their class date comes up? Eesh.

How about not forcing senior, line-holding, Newark-based dash pilots to sit reserve in Dulles even though they weren't awarded Dulles as their domicile during any vacancy or displacement. If you are a union representative, please do us all a favor and recuse yourself from any future discussions with management.

There's no lines in EWR on the D8.
If you are getting displaced into the jet and am waiting for a class, the company owes you a DH and a room at the end of the night (because your base is EWR and you're out of base). If you displaced into IAD D8, you made a choice and that's your new base (and the company is doing you a solid).
I've done it in the Jet when EWR opened. I'm still amazed when I get a turn through IAD despite it being my base (and currently holding a line).
I sometimes wish the union would negotiate a TDY LOA, but I'm really worried they would mess it up and then the company would abuse us even worse.
