If you have a 2008 B756 FO who is now displaced to A320 FO and
You have a 2013 B737 Capt who is now displaced to A320 FO and
You have a 2016 B787 FO who is now displaced to A320 FO and lastly,
You have a 2017 A320 Capt who is now displaced to A320 FO...
I would assume AND EXPECT that the 2017 A320 Capt have to go through training first. Followed by the 2016 hire, etc.
Yes, I'm aware of the Pay Protection but there is also something more than pay at stake. Quality of Life.
Pretty sure that 2008 hire has earned the right to be home a lot during the summer... same with the 2013 hire vs the 2017 hire.
Just as bad is if they send the 2008 756 FO to training yet there are 2010-2019 756 FO's who do NOT go to training.
Guess we will see what the training schedule looks like at the end of this week?
But..
One thing that hit me and again, I had to laugh.. and not a good laugh-
"However, we will deviate from inverse seniority order if there is a business reason for doing so. Examples include:
- a pilot is NQ on his old equipment
- to fill open training slots – for example, a qual slot is open but the junior pilot needs an RQ2
- we expect a more junior pilot to be displaced in a subsequent displacement bid"
Notice that first line.. a pilot if NQ'd on his old equipment.
So the company cancels your sim event (which is paid for, by the way.. so no money saved.) and now THEY can use that as an excuse to train out of seniority. Hmm...
