Seems like a good amount of people getting calls are either close to upgrade or just upgraded at a regional and can't decide whether they would take the job or not. I'd take it in a hearbeat, but I want to work for a LCC and my situation is different than others.

Either way, good luck to everyone interviewing this week! Keep us posted!

"This is not factually correct. F9 has never filled a vacancy pursuant to the Eischen Award. F9 hired several pilots (some of which resigned their seniority and some that did not resign their seniority) prior to The Award being issued. We have not hired anyone since The Award. F9 did have a Voluntary Staffing Adjustment (MKE closed, CHI opened) and those vacancies were NOT filled according to The Award, they were filled according to the F9 CBA (DOH seniority). "

"The Eischen Award doesn't apply to hiring."

Zoooropa, I have a question about the statement you made above. If F9 has never filled a vacancy pursuant to the Eischen Award then how did the Midwest pilots get IMSL seniority at F9? I may have my dates wrong but I thought the IMSL was published first then the
staffing adjustment that resulted in the Midwest pilots coming over and the other RAH pilots that resigned their seniority. Thanks.

Rocky, are you really F9 ??

You seem to have some serious gaps in your knowledge of events.. I believe the majority of true F9 pilots are intimately aware of Every step of Our history, as it relates to the imsl, and the famous 'Midwest 8" ...

There are better places to fill your memory gaps than this board.

what area code are the phone calls coming from (720)?

cloud - sorry to disappoint thy airworthiness with my lack of knowledge on the issue. I admit I am not as versed as some, like yourself on this issue. Some of the applicants were asking questions on the issue and rightfully so. Due to the lack of self proclaimed experts posting, I and a few others tried to answer their questions with honesty. When zoooropa and bulldog offered different perspective and even corrections to my interpretation it was appreciated. I find the IMSL ruling extremely complicated. When I view the issue I try to see it at different angles not only through the focus of my desire. Question my employment if you wish, I could care less. I will make you a deal - I will choose a different venue to "fill my memory gaps" if you will post some useful information to help a fellow pilot try to take the next step at our company.

That makes two of us, Rocky. That's how I remembered the timeline as well, and I thought it was a valid question, but evidently I'm not a 'true' F9 pilot either. (I sure did have those passengers fooled though...and the TSA...and perhaps most important, the F9 payroll dept.)
