I get it that you have to bid a higher seat and not be awarded it, but I don't get how percentage bidding would factor in.
I would think (I don't know) that you would have to bid a seat at 100% in order to get passover pay.
If you bid a higher paying seat at say, 70%, and they gave it to a new hire that is in the 99% range, how does that get you passover pay?
Just to clarify some things, if you have a specific question on bidding the union will give you an answer, if you call.
You will not get passover for a seat unless you bid and can hold it. The company can not put a new hire into a seat unless there is a vacancy. Therefore if you bid every WB seat at 100% it would be impossible to have a new hire go to a seat you didnt have a chance at. One caveat, it is probable that a new hire may not be put directly into a Mem 76 seat and if you are awarded it instead of another WB seat you would not get passover pay when they hire drectly into those seats.
