Not true.......there is no 1 for 1. Contractually....... Any senior Pilot who was awarded the same seat position and domicle as the jR pilot rates passover once the Junior Pilot is Activated......assuming the more Senior Pilot was witheld from training and did not waive passover during a training date swap.
Section 24 CBA
Except as provided in Section 24.D.2., D.3. and D.4., required training for a crew position shall be scheduled by system seniority, senior first, for that crew position.
Passover Pay Due To Junior Pilot's Early Activation
In case of a junior pilot's activation to a higher paying position out of seniority order, every senior pilot who meets the following prerequisites shall be paid as if he had activated in that higher paying position (passover pay):
the junior pilot and the senior pilot(s) hold an award for the same crew position; and
the junior pilot's award is from the same posting as the senior pilot's award or from a subsequent posting and
the Company chooses to activate the junior pilot prior to the senior pilot(s) and the junior pilot's activation delays the training and activation of the senior pilot(s); and
the senior pilot actually activates into his awarded crew position.
