I thought the union said it was changed to one month? Does the above atatement mean you can volunteer for 3 months since that wouldn't be an inverse assignment? Not sure?

What exactly does, "While the company MAY use STv's for up to three bid periods" mean anyway? Why is that language still there?

TonyC, Sleepy? Anybody? Sounds like grievance language to me? In other words, "Fly now, grieve later!?"

Kind of makes you go hmmmmm ....

What the sleazy rat bast*rds are trying to do is create language that eliminates the necessity of 1 month voluntary STVs.

Explanation: To fill an STV they have to have a bid. They put the bid out for three month STVs. If this language wasn't here they would have to put out 1 month vacancies bid and after any of these went unfilled, then they would go the invol route. This language allows them to go straight from 3 month vol to 1 month invol.

Bottomline voluntary 1 month STV bids would cost them too much; no one would bid 3 months when you could bid 1 month..

No due diligence vote No
