If the company tries not to pay passover pay they will take the position that there was no "bid award" with a new hire position. They will also argue that the position involves first year pay for the new hire.
I do not have money riding on this nor will it affect me..............
There is much confusion on this issue.........Many think all Senior Pilots would rate passover pay. I was simply trying to spell what the contract states. A Senior Pilot must have a Bid Award on the Same Aircraft Seat in the Same domicile............and be bypassed by a Junior Pilot.
I said "Contractually" Senior Pilots would rate Passover. It would not surpirse me if MGT tried to skirt that...........
It would be a Large grievance from ALPA and one worth fighting.
My prediction is the company will pay it. Time will tell.
