Standing Vacancy
Has anyone done this yet? What has your experience been and how long until your scheduled for training?
How long until the pay increase showed up on your check(this goes for those who have accepted the SV and those who were forced)
Also, I cant find it in the contract language, if I were to accept the SV would I get the training freeze pay (5 hour override), or just get the 2 year seat lock? I am assuming the later since this is considered the same as receiving a proffered bid.

Email pay comp and let them know the date you sent in for CA and were awarded it. Haven’t talked with anyone who has picked a SV yet. I’m sure more details from those pilots will come out soon once we get about a 1-2mon removed from The last vac bid.

Bump.
Just checking in. Still debating if this is a "good" move. Latest thinking, seems like the only benefit is pic time a few months faster. If anyone can think of any others I'd like to hear them.
Any ideas on if all 3 airplanes listed initially are still available. How far out are class dates on respective airplanes SV bids?

If you upgrade via vacancy, you give that up.

Or would they likely be filled before reaching me.
