Better seniority

Two questions:
1) Let’s say someone is awarded a new aircraft on this Sept AE, with training in February. Then they subsequently get awarded a new category on the Nov/Dec AE (assuming there’s a new category) with training in Mar/April. I assume they wouldn’t go to the first training? Is the previous award automatically cancelled?
2) the September AE is 210 days. Does this mean that training could begin anytime between Oct and Apr (7 months), or that conversion must occur in that time (in other words I’m wondering how late training could possibly start).

Thank you in advance!

Don't assume anything when it comes to skipping training because it seems nonsensical in the bigger picture. It could happen, but you could also go to training for two aircraft in the span of a few months. History is filled with silliness - ask some older folks you fly with and almost everyone has a story.


If there's not an easy solution to pulling you from training and putting someone else in that seat, the company could find your training preferable to paying/burning seat fillers...you'd do just fine in that role.

There is a long history here .... the affections of one reptile towards another reptile got one of our favorites, ACL65 in trouble with a moderator. No side boob, no reptiles procreating; this board has standards!

Oh and BTW, what sound does a horny toad make?

Wish we had more clarity as to what had been agreed to on the topic of "crew augmentation." I am assuming it is current book since there have been no headlines.

You’d have to do the full course. The short course is only available when going to the 717 directly from the -88.

A friend of mine had this exact scenario occur a few years ago. Was MD'd off the NYCM88 to the 73N, then awarded an AE for the 7ER before he went to training. The difference in conversion dates was two months, I think. The company was going to make him go to 73N training until he brought it to someone's attention that it didn't make sense(it wasn't automatic). He would only fly the 73N line for two weeks or so before going back to training.

They ended up cancelling his 73N training, putting him back on the non-existent NYCM88 line, and pay protecting him for the 73N. So basically he got two months off with pay, got a raise when he went to training, and then another one once he started flying the 7ER. The company got to use his training slot for someone who was actually going to fly the plane.

Well if you go around disparaging people on here you won't be doing it for long. Feel free to disagree with him, point out where he is wrong as often as you like but knock off the personal insults.

Any bets on when the results and training timelines drop?
