I work for XJT too but do not think that this is anything to be worked on UNLESS it is in the JCBA. If theres retro in there for me, a raise, better job protection and benefits, and ZERO concession in any area I may vote yes, but I spent two years on the street and nobody helped me. This is a selfish industry, were all in it for ourselves, the sooner you realize that and accept it the easier it becomes to manage your dissapointment.
Might as well ask for a unicorn too!

The document released yesterday specified that the two sides would bid differently for up to 2 years after the JCBA, if I recall correctly. I would think it would occur at the same time, so my guess is 2 years.

Parallel tracks, what I've been saying they should have agreed to long ago. But people kept saying the company would never go for that. Well, here we are.
And to answer the question, ISL will happen about 6 months after ratification IF there is ratification.

Do you mean bidding schedules or positions? If the memo yesterday with the blurb about two years of parallel bidding is any indication, it sounds to me like they're considering at least two year fences. But of course, none of this has been "officially" discussed yet since the SLI committee hasn't "officially" met, and the above is just my speculation, not anything I "heard".

I don't think the month to month bidding software will affect the fences or lack of fences in a JCBA. I really don't know what they are going to do with that one but the way Pinnacle/Mesaba/Colgan did it was just idiotic. Over half the pilot group had to go through training on a new airplane in such a short period that it hurt the company financially. I hope they do it intelligently.
