New Hires are awarded vacancies based on unfilled vacancies, in this case from a previous bid. That’s how a new hire got SDF when more senior pilots want it.

Clear as mud…?
Which is still pretty crappy.

I’d prefer more along the lines of United. The idea of a desirable seat going to a new hire when plenty of folks already in property aren’t allowed to grab it is wrong.

Isn't the idea here that the seat went unfilledso thats why a new hire got it. We had first crack at it.

Thats my understanding. New hires are being awarded vacancies from the bids earlier this year.

Tnkr - I agree that all open vacancies at point in time of the 22-102 Bid should have been included in the bid but also realize it’s not always that simple. Effective dates, training constraints, long term planning changes all affect the company’s ability to offer them. That and they just don’t give a F.

Like a OT trip tickiing inside 48 hrs. U had your chance now they are in control. I just find it strange that a 747 SDF went unfilled in any bid.

ANC 74 new hires who came on board after that bid, but before the most recent bid did not have a shot at that slot and are senior (perhaps by hundreds of numbers) to the guys who are getting it. My opinion is that anytime we have a system bid, every open slot from that and all previous bids should be fair game. If the company no longer wants the slot, they should be forced to delete it. Obviously, this would take a change in contractual language. We don’t get things here out of the goodness of the company’s heart.

I am sure the company would love the opportunity to delete slots at their whim..right now we force them to use them within 18 months I believe..thats for a reason.

I was awarded Z in my new hire class at the same time the company was displacing people off it.
