I slid a year as every month a new nugget moved south. The company was using all the MD11 training slots to train the new ANC FOs so they could flush the nuggets. No passover awarded, even though all the "new" MD11 FOs were way junior and awarded the 11 seniority slots on the same bid. Since it was different type of training, the union said "all is good". So no passover, and past practice of allowing differing training to differentiate for passover.
Sorry, still confused
The ANC guys moving south --- that was voluntary or via an excess bid?
Those must have been MD11 guys coming to MEM so it's not their training that you were concerned about
I think you are talking about new hires off the street going to ANC as MD11 FOs...??
Was your MD11 slot to MEM or ANC??
If it wasn't to ANC, and that's where the new hires are going, then it's not the same plane/seat/DOMICILE
If all three were the same then Passover would be do
I think the current situation being described is different...and it's a new argument the company is making...guite disingenuously
