Question - say one was awarded the 350 in this initial bid, but because it will be a year long bid most likely, they didn't train until the fall. Does the 2 year seat lock start from the day of the award or the day you convert?
If they are really planning that massive of a 350 bid this will get crazy. I am starting to wonder how they are going to do it with the C series
What they really should do long term is stick to this:
350
330
737
320
C series

Remember, under our new PWA, the one year conversion window only comes into existence if there are displacements (23.D.11) and they only get to do it once in a calendar year.

With a 365 day conversion window from May, I'll bet there won't be much overlap if the 747 is really gone by the end of the year. Between now and May 2018 there are 15 747 A's turning 65. I suspect they will take a displacement bid and then either get bypassed or retire just before going to training (or even in training). Heck, that's what I'd do....

You are Naive! Not to mention when you get over 55 all many pilots need to do is be honest at medical time. Those that don't have a medical issue will create one. It was very lucrative for former Pan Am pilots to go disability rather then retire. probably 3 out of 4 went out disabled. Some guys have no trouble at all looking themselves in the mirror doing that kind of stuff. I really admired some of the Pan Am guys who retired and left a 100,000 a year on the table. It's called character and some had it.

So save the 'looking in the mirror' moralizing. Unless you want to open the conversation on national officers dues paid pension plan...when virtually none of the member pilot groups have such a benefit.
You would have to go out in a seat position that had no age 60 mandatory retirement qualifier. So a double down bid to the SO seat was the mechanism.

got a question for those that know better than myself. I received an award yesterday and had a qualifier in. Running the numbers today and using John Bell's AE spreadsheets I'm showing a worse projected percentage than what I had in using today's numbers and projected category lists. What does the company use to project %? Are they accounting for newhires that have yet to be put on the equipment?
