This, while I agree with you 100%, will never go anywhere. There is already established precedent with the nuggets. They were allowed to come and train into ANC while a bunch of senior guys sat on the back of the 10 and 727 WITH TRAINING DATES. We just got slid out farther and farther for 11 training. Personally, I slide 11 months waiting for my 11 training while all the new hires trained into the 11 at ANC. It's a different training program. Fought and lost.

Since they were not training before you off the same bid or a later bid, passover does not apply. Maybe if the union takes the stand that you are being denied a chance to bid for that seat, you might have a chance. But we seem to lose all these.

All this but the last contract passed 😏

While it would be wonderful if the company would simply hand hiring\training over to our Union---just not going to happen.

It is very hard for me to imagine any arbitrator supporting the companies contention that Passover Pay isn't applicable to a 57 FO awaiting 67 training because it's simply a topoff training. Even harder for me to figure out why mgt is complicating the consolidation training when they could have the newhires simply be 57 FOs and topoff current 57 FOs w/ the 67 stamp.

That being said,
it is my understanding that the authority to hire additional pilots results in a bid. In the case of our current hiring that bid was 16-01, last April which showed a shortfall of 396 FOs.
So, pretty much every FO on property had the opportunity to bid to be MD11 FOs, Airbus FOs, 67 FOs, 777 FOs. And for pretty much every FO except for 57 FOs awaiting 67 FO training, passover pay is being paid.

Things that don't trigger passover Pay.
Holding a 67 Capt seat in Memphis when someone Junior to you activates in Indy.
Holding a MD11 FO seat in Memphis when someone Junior to you activates in Anchorage (or LA)

Got a question- Pilot Credentials "references" section says, in bold, "Only FedEx references should be listed below". Is it acceptable to list a retired FedEx pilot, and if so, how is this reflected? The application asks for an employee number and has a drop down for employer, "retired" is not an option.

Thanks in advance to all you experienced folks who peruse these threads and pass your nuggets of info and insight down to us newbies and wannabes.
