As for me, I bid just to skew numbers and scare some people away. I will change my bid after the last practice. Nothing better than these slots going unfilled.

Red you are correct for at least 2 passover pay cpt I know. They are really 72 mem showing up on widebody scales. I know there was a big push for 72 LCA and Flex to bid.

Just making light of the practice bid and it's infinite silliness.

Let's hope something will happen and you're not able to change your bid. Next, we'll see you begging the Cheif Pilot to get out of the bid.

I talked to a 727 Capt LCA currently getting widebody passover the other night. He told me that he's been told that the B727 CAP LCAs that go to the B757 in MEM will be passover protected for 2.5 yrs, at which time if they decide to stay on the B757 they will revert to B757 pay. He also said the plan is that LCAs would DH over to Europe and do LCs for 2 wks then DH back. Looks more like SIBA than STV, as we've been told the intent was, if you ask me!
I think I will run this up the flag pole at ALPA and see if it has been discussed.

I can't see this being legal under the CBA either, in order for the current 727 CA's to be receiving passover they had to bid and hold a widebody seat. Then they are put at the end of the training cycle, until they or the Company decides it is time for them to leave. In the case of the 757, they have to BID it, so in theory, they would be vacating their current widebody award, have to train on the 757 and then re-bid the widebody on another bid to be put back in passover status. The same thing should apply to any current widebody CA that downbids in my opinion.
