After looking at the bid package, I noticed 4 slots without names for Saab captains, 2 in ATL and the other 2 elsewhere. I hope this is an indication that SF340 upgrades will be coming. I think a staffing bid will have to be done as MIA hasn't opened, and it's coming up a year since the last one.
I've been contemplating sending the union an email asking them to fight the company on sending us to ATP to get the ATP, I can do it in a Seminole, but I don't want to. Good idea or should I not say anything?

Supposedly the union is looking into stopping the process of using AtP. Definitely not a proactive process.

If I understand the contract correctly-- Staffing bids only happen when a base opens/closes, new equipment, furlough, etc...Just because it's been 12 months doesn't mean there has to be another staffing bid. It just means that any remaining MIA awarded pilots, after 12 months, will be given out-of-base benefits (positive space, hotel, per diem) at the base they are currently at (not MIA). Regardless, this wont apply because everyone awarded MIA was pretty much forced to bid out through a pref bid to a vacant base. It was that, or sit TDY reserve until those 12 months were up...In short, if you came from a 1900-only base into the Saab and was awarded MIA (like I was), you were screwed because you pretty much had to give up your place in line...

Sorry they promised you Mia and didn't deliver, sandrich. That sucks.
Tamdar goes live tomorrow. We're not out until the plane moves 10 feet. I really love not getting paid to start engines, do ffod checks and the after start checklist.
