"STVers" vs People Based in FDA's
How will the STV folks bid each month? Are they going to use the same bid pack as those based in each FDA (in effect pushing the junior pilots based there lower)? Or will the STV folks bid separate or later?
Will the more senior STV people get “good” lines (I know, I know
) ahead of the more junior people who are actually based at each FDA?
Thanks in advance.

But knowingly flying into a SAM MEZ ain't good business either unless you've done a lot of research.
I suspect we'll take some "combat losses" on this one. I don't think anyone has evil intent--its just a darn tough way to try to make this work. Anytime you "force" verses "entice" someone to work you invite some angst...on all sides.
ACPs, union reps, and the line guys are all going to have to wrestle with some of the ambiguity. That is one reason I am leaning towards staying on the whistle pig another bid...

If we leave it to our MEC "leadership", I think I know the answer, and when I get STV'd to Hong Kong after the company opens the MD-11/10 domicile over there, lets just say I'm expecting to get the 2 legs out/2 legs back with 12 hours off in some Asian city...

Why is it unreasonable to expect these questions would/should be answered before folks are expected to bid and open themselves to a given set of work rules?
You may be at a particular stage in your life that allows you not to be concerned with such trivia....others may not.
