FDX Passover Pay -- Couple of MD-11 Nuggets Activated
FedEx started paying passover pay to pilots who bid ANC on bid 0503 or bid 0602 and have not gone to training.
The first "nugget" activated on Aug 24 and all affected pilots got an email and notification saying that they are receiving passover pay "for all trips flown in Aug bid month from the 24th on AND for everything starting with the Sept bid month."
The email stated that it should be reflected on the Sep 15th pay statement.
They also explained that an LOA changed the contract provision that passover pay was to be paid after the individual activated in the seat. The LOA changed it to "as soon as the junior guy activates".
