Okay..how should it have worked in the ideal system? Not aware of what is considered "ideal". Has passover ever been given to someone who COULD hold a slot but then decided NOT to bid it? How would (or did) that system work? Not scoffing...just interested in what this system would look like. I was under the impression that passover was paid if you were denied or held back from a seat. If you could hold it, but did not bid it...why would passover be applicable? We have FOs who stay senior in their seat for Q of L. Should they be paid captain's pay simply because someone junior is in the seat? I thought it was only for situations where you were NOT placed in the seat you held on a bid due to training letter issues or other factors. How did it work before this VTL was resolved?

You will continue to bid 75F until you go to training. Once training is complete as a 76F, you would bid the 76 bidpack.

Usually timing is everything. The earlier you got here the better. In this case, not necessarily true.

The VTL concept didn't affect the initial FEPP guys pay timing very much. But the VTL letter of agreement slowed down future Fepp to a trickle. The VTL and FEPP agreement paved the way for the big excesses that followed almost immediately after it was agreed to. Without the VTL the company would've had to pay FEPP to everyone willing to bid HKG as soon as each excess closed.

If he's 75F now, isn't he legal to fly a 767 if required? What training does he have to do?
