Looks like many will be losing their pay protection in this bid, myself included, so when exactly does one's pay revert back to his/her lower paying position?
Is it when the AE bid is released like it was yesterday and one can see what his/her seniority could have held?
Or is it when the pilot junior to you with the higher paying position converts through training?
Close. It is when a pilot junior to you converts. Period.
22.12.4
A pilot who loses his 24.E.10. return rights 180 days after SOC will receive pay
protection under the following conditions:
a) The pilot will receive the difference between the payrate of the highest
position his seniority entitles him to hold and the payrate for the highest
paying position for which he lost his 24.E.10. return rights.
b)
The pay protection will cease at the earlier of:
1) the conversion of a pilot junior to such pilot to a category with a payrate
which is equal to or higher than the payrate for the 24.E.10. category,
provided the award was the result of a vacancy posting awarded after
SOC, or
2) 36 bid periods plus 180 days following SOC.
Note: A pilot will not lose this pay protection if he was under a category
freeze incurred prior to SOC
