My worry is staffing on the 1900. We are very shorthanded in the NE. No one is being trained in the 1900, and we have pilots from up here going to FL or headed to the Saab. Who the hell is going to fly these routes?
Now days we cant strike or you end up striking a year or two later it is still assisting the company to violate the contract.

I hope that turned out for those wondering what the contract says I don't know if I can share it but I am guessing it is ok since it is a legal doc.

All, if not most, regionals have seatlocks (Pinnacolaba, Eagle, Skywest, etc.) Hopefully you guys realize that this happens EVERYWHERE, so quit whining. O and it is still cheapo Gulfstream, thankfully Saab also makes cars so you guys can find plenty of spare parts for your planes and not be as obvious.

Read the contract NO seat lock on new equipment and it is new equipment so maybe you should read before you speak

your telling me that if all those regionals got 737's and said it was a seat lock and hired new people into the left and right seat you would be happy?

Honestly couldn't care if I flew the Saab or not, it's the money that matters.

From the contract: "A Pilot will be pay protected when a junior Pilot is advanced to his new
Status (Base, Equipment Type and Seat Position) before a more senior
Pilot is advanced to the same Status. This pay protection will be at 100%
of line value that the Pilot would have held in that new Status. If a Pilot
declines training in seniority, he will forfeit eligibility for pay protection."

The "would have held" part may be the loophole that management is talking about when they say "you can't hold the Saab, so you can't get the pay"

Be interesting to see us FLL pilots get displaced when they pull the 1900 out and still no transition class, while new guys are holding FLL and the Saab. No new info from the union to protect us.
