Even if he does activate in Memphis it won't trigger passover pay for guys waiting for training in Memphis. If the guy bid ANC and those guys bid Mem, the ANC guy will never trigger passover pay for the Mem dudes. It has to be same seat, same domicile, same (or later) bid. If the guy can lateral over before the other guys train that is just the way it goes. If they want the pay they need to bid ANC and then take their chances lateraling back to Mem.
If I've read the posts correctly though, it sounds like one guy never went to ANC, his bid was canceled and he went straight to Mem. I think the guys have a beef if that occurred.
In any case the staff and officers of the union better treat the guys with respect and give the same level of effort to their case as they would an international widebody Captains about to retire, you know the ones they just blew in our last contract. I have no problem with the widebody Captions getting most or all of the increases, but they still need to take care of the FOs and SOs who also help move the freight. Treating dues paying members like that is inexcusable, as is the pitiful bonus the SOs were awarded in the contract.
