If a pilot hasn't bid a new position via bid announcements or the displacement process while on LTD, and, the bid position he left still exists, he'll go back to that bid position. In other words there are no "makeup" bids just because you were on LTD.
Again, read section 12.
Regarding the PDR, I get an accurate and timely response every time I use the system, I must be the only one huh?
Great post.
Most PDR's I receive could be self answered if someone spent 2 minutes reading the contract.
Much easier to send an email for most people.
A clear and concise question usually gets answered very quickly. Long running diatribes that are difficult to follow or alcohol induced, take longer to figure out what the heck they are truly looking for.
Often times, there is not even a question involved, or if there is, it is unanswerable.
"When is this company gonna get their S*() together and start paying me correctly. I am so sick and tired..."
Not to say that we don't drop the ball sometimes, but we do try to get a response out pretty quickly.
