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.
Ok it is the last senrtence of those conditions that worry me. What if FedEx just creates additional classes for the newhires that were not orginally awarded in the posting. Since the senior pilots training date has not been chaged or "Delayed" a as a result of the junior pilots activation is passover pay still triggered?
