So Underdog, are we to understand that you ended up getting a HKG Captain bid when you didn't have HKG Captain on your standing bid? Unless the company totally ignored the following section of the contract, you must have had HKG Captain on your standing bid - is that correct?
SECTION 24
FILLING OF VACANCIES
C. Bid Award Procedure
5. FDA Vacancy Awards
b.
No pilot may be assigned involuntarily to fill an FDA vacancy. If no pilot on the Master Seniority List expresses a preference by standing bid for an
FDA vacancy, the Company may hire a pilot to fill that vacancy.
If you didn't have HKG Captain on your standing bid, then you should not have been awarded HKG. If you were, then file a grievance - it would be a slam-dunk in your favor.
