Well, newest apparent rumor/info around here is that nifty mentor program that allowed guys to upgrade faster is on hold/gone. There was a message sent out to some pilots (FOs I guess since I didn't get it) that the mentor program has been put on indefinite hold.
According to the union reps, there was a grievance out on it anyway since it went against the section in the contract that defined upgrade minimums. The mentor program alters the minimums in a way that it isn't uniform to the pilot group, hence the grievance. The union stated they were willing to work with the company to get the program rolling while making it legal under the contract with a LOA. Apparently, the company didn't want it enough to give anything up, so it's gone for now.
I'm guessing there are a LOT of disappointed JetU guys now.....
