FDX Passover Question
OK all, any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Here's the situation.
As most of you know, about 22 guys got bumped for MD11 training due to the purple nugget program. All of those 22 guys are currently going through training. According to today's bid, a junior FO transferred from ANC to MEM (she was not suppose to transfer until 01/29/07).
So my question is, how can a person who couldn't hold MEM, activate in MEM before those of us who could hold MEM (meaning way out of seniority)? I looked through the contract and couldn't find anything specific regarding this, but this seems really wrong to me (right if passover pay is due).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What a crock of crap.
And like I said in a prior post somewhere, if any contract bonus/retro is reached based upon seat position (similar to UPS) before this group activates as FO's, well, anybody know a good lawyer?
Like I said before, this whole nugget process blows.
Wow....man are you getting screwed....maybe you should quit! I'm sure it would be really tough for them to replace you....
Dude you need to relax! Many guys spent 5 yrs on the panel. Some spent 2yrs in a pool prior to getting hired....your whining will get little sympathy!

Personal rivalries aside.....
This is the kind of thing that should be grieved and corrected by ALPA.
If the company errored and did not put enough MD 11 MEM/FO positions in the bid, passover pay should come to those that bid it.
To go back and say "When I was a newbie I carried the Captain's bag and washed his car" is not relevant or helpful.
Or is this how things work at FedEx? If your coworker has an opinion different from yours just let loose with insults?

I looked at the monthly md11 fo bids that closed yesterday. She's the last one on the list. Apparently, she "activated" in MEM on 10/1/06.
I'm working with the union as we speak, with not much progress.
