It's the VH flying, and it's carved-out in the contract. At least when I was there, it was normal for the most junior 767 guys in the class to wind up on VH flying. The good news is you can bid off of it pretty quickly, and LAS is a pretty easy commute from pretty much anywhere. If you live in LAS it's a good deal, such that in the left seat it goes very senior.
