You do not get paid until the conversion date.
So if you're on an airplane for 1 year, get displaced to a smaller aircraft, then 6 months later use displacement rights via AE to go back to bigger aircraft, your seat lock starts over again? The conversion window is 6 months. That's a pretty big window. How do I know when I go back to training? This process pretty much lets the company do what they want with me on very short notice. I don't like it. Can we go back to the APA process which is very structured and gives the company very little freedom? How do they decide who to convert first? Is it seniority based or just random?
