Exactly right. I'm quite sure that you've never made a mistake.

It's a new jet.

If a narrowbody LCA bids it to increase passover pay it won't work.

LCA's were notified before hand that if they bid it and are awarded it, they won't "sit" at the bottom of the training letter, they will go to training in seniority order.

Not sure if it's contract verbiage ---- but serving as an LCA is at the discretion of Stds Dept/management.

They make the call when your time is up and you go to training and it was communicated to LCAs that if you bid the 777, then you will go to training.

In this case, I think the companies position is to minimize passover pay.

There will be no passover pay on the 777. I hope those that bid it are lucky enough to have their vacation bought back by JH. Betting on the POP come-line here will prove to be a mistake.

Anyway, what BC did just doesn't seem like a big deal to me. In fact, I wish more guys would do that here, myself included..........................

Isn't there usually a "last edited at..." if you edit a post? Didn't see one of those. My guess? Just trying to be cute.
