will the underfly vote result in more forced xfers?

Certainly more furloughs. Then the Senate hearings. First, it will be interesting to see if promises were kept. Second, as noted in the prehearing briefing, to keep it from happening again. Third, it will either add or subtract from the weight of the four lawsuits against APFA/AA by the F/As and the single lawsuit against APA/AA/ALPA by the pilots.
APFA will be giving its members the opportunity to vote on the "underfly" provision of the T/A. In exchange the F/As may substitute either longer duty hours (208) furloughs or sick pay rules and a smaller change in duty times (309) furloughs. It will be interesting to see how the membership is willing to vote knowing that they are furloughing more members with their votes. As they already eliminated furlough pay effecting the 1750 LLC F/As and a smaller number of the nAAtive F/As, they now have the opportunity to give the shaft to more of their own. Watch out for the fireworks.
And then again AA is going to publish two bid sheets for STL for July because they might lose a court case prohibiting any more furloughs of LLC F/As. As APFA accepted a fraudulent yes vote, this whole matter becomes a giant caldron of claims and counter claims. Remember that the Departmment of Labor has already declared a number of voting "irregularities" in the second yes vote.

A change of 50 or 100 in the headcount doesn''t necessarily translate into the need for another furlough. Such variations can be managed by granting bid leaves, PVD''s, mini-leaves, or by increasing/decreasing the average line value by a few minutes.

Even if it meant my own furlough I would vote to protect whats left of our profession. If more furloughs mean I have a job "worth" coming back to then thats what I''ll vote for.
