So if a pilot is excessed backwards, those receiving passover pay because of that pilot's previous seat position no longer receive passover?

"For you to want to remove that privilege because the contract doesn't have firm language is just plain mean."
What would you say about pilots with at least 25 years in at FedEx, that made WB Capt 5 years earlier due to Age 60, now forcing everyone else to go backwards because they don't want to take the retirement we negoitiated for them? |

I wish I knew if any 727 FOs will be excess down to the 727 SO seat. It depends on how much of a bubble the company wants in the SO seat. Does the company want any bubbles or do they want even manning?

So the bottom guys should be safe; however, if they do go down to SO, they'll just be sitting reserve and never getting called because we'll still be fat in that seat (no furloughs). Even if they decide to have another excess, the 72SO seat will only get fatter. That is unless some are crazy enough to bid HKG...SG

In answer to your question, I really don't know what to say. I hate to talk about in the jet because my blood pressure gets too high. I had one of these guys tell me "don't worry, you're getting the same deal I am." How's that? By waiting an extra 3-4 years to upgrade and than choosing to work past 60 so I can earn what I would have had things not changed. It's fuzzy math at best, and the bottom line is these guys are just being greedy. Period, Dot, EOS.... |
Jolly,
I agree with you 100%! My question is why are we excessing from the 727/So position. It is the lowest paying job in the company and now we are giving the opportunity for guys that essentially work for free (J Lewis and friends) to move into wide body captain positions? I realize 727 Seconds are overmanned, but don't you think every position will be after the -10 excess? This excess bid for any position other than the DC-10 is ridiculous... |

They are'nt getting just one more type rating, they are taking a pass on the best retirement remaining in the industry and screwing the junior guys in the process so they can work at 1/2 pay. I'm sorry, I just don't get it.

They know it sucks. |
