The fact that they would delay a Vacancy Bid closing when they "supposedly" don't know if it will pass the MEC Vote should tell us all something.
Everything is being played to ensure a Passing Vote.
Oh Well
Motch
PS) Even if it did get out to the pilot group next Friday.. what is to guarantee the pilot group would vote YES? So why would anyone bid on the current Vacancy bid based on a potential TA? They should be bidding on this Vacancy based on our current (post dated) UPA. So anyone junior bidding on a TA has guaranteed a YES vote and wonder what will happen if they get that Left Seat and then the TA fails?!
You can't make this **** up.

Unfortunately, it probably doesn't matter any more.

Everyone looks at the reserve rules when it’s most likely the commuting rules that are scaring upgrades away. Delta gets to book the jumpseat a week ahead of time and Alaska pilots commuting to work get a priority ahead of all other nonrevs. We need these types of rules.

But aren’t these internal issues outside of the contract? It seems like with the right leadership and resolutions at ALPA, we could stop shooting ourselves in the foot as pilots and take care of each other more.
Contractually speaking, I hope we get PS commutes and I drive to work.
