Default FDX - What if...vacancies?

What if the company now turns around and posts vacancies for the same number of seats/aircrafts/domiciles as this last excess...would that accomplish anything?
- displace the Nuggets
- eliminate or reduce passover pay

"...several bids in quick succession..."

Just thinking out loud again

Only after HKG F/O slots are filled.........then all bets are off.

I think everyone should change their standing bid to include the dc-10 if you can hold it. i would love to see the extra training slot go to complete waste. if the company was smart on crew issues (big if) they would just pay the few over 60 guys passover and let the rest of the business just happen...

I didn't even consider putting the DC-10 in my bid. I guess I should just in case I can hold it.
I wonder just how big this training letter is gonna be. I also wonder if they will get it figured out before the end of the year.

or put HKG CA #1, then what would happen to everyone displaced, regarding pay ? At least to the guys who are senior to tail end Charlie in HKG !

You underestimate the current excess bid.

All those things will happen when this bid closes.

What Gunter said

The current bid as written allows all the senior F/Os who wish they had upgraded a couple of years ago to do just that. They can displace anyone junior to them in a Capts seat. There will be a lot of shuffling going on because of this bid

They will not award you anything in the DC-10, I did that on the last bid. Also you will not be awarded HKG Capt, it is full. Passover pay should apply if you are excessed out of your seat you have a preference for HKG Capt and they award you something lower than that provided you are senior to #4009 (the most junior HKG Cpt). Been there done that

The DC-10 was in excess on the last bid. It's not on this one, so if there is someone on it junior to you, why wouldn't you get it?
