FDX - Question about training letter and subsequent bids
 

A question about FedEx's practice about training letters when a new bid comes out....

Here is my question,
-Pilot A is awarded a 757 FO training slot on bid #1, and has a training date scheduled for February 1, 2009.
-Bid #2 comes out, closes in January, and has 30 people senior to pilot A get awarded 757FO.
-When the new training letter comes out, do the 30 people senior to pilot A go to training BEFORE pilot A? (New list created in seniority order.) Or does pilot A go to training still in February, and the pilots who were awarded the position on bid #2 get training dates after all of bid #1's pilots were trained?

Looked through the contract, and my legalieze is saying it's still up to the company. All it mentions is that passover would not be paid to the 30 senior pilots because pilot A was not awarded in the same bid. Just wondering what the past practice has been.

Thanks,
Pilot A.

From prior experience, Pilot A still goes to training on schedule.

Guys I know who were in this situation were bumped back. If you haven't started training and a new bid comes out, it's up to the company if they want to tack them on, or start them right away.

Actually, neither will go to training because both bids will be cancelled. :eek: :D
