Default FDX Filling Open Trips

Of the trips I knocked out with my April vacation, the first three have already been filled by scheds with an IOE student. A30 F/O prg. 124/3rd, 313/4th, 120/5th.

When I read the contract 5 months ago I must have missed something. Prior to this contract, an open trip could not be filled for training. It would first have to be assigned to somebody (RES?) and then that person bumped for training.

Can any of you contract Guru's quote the section where we gave that back?

Look in 25.G.1. I think this answers your question

Hey cvilltn, or C.K., or chuck, or chaz, or what ever the nom de plume. If you wish to remain anonymous don't be specific with pairings.
Who knows who is reading this board, and taking names.
Now we all know that you bid line 230 with B.C.

Time to change youe user name?

Speaking of check airman. I thought check airman kept their schedule and the other pilot was bumped for training. Has this changed?

Does scheduling now switch around your schedule with open time? How much notice do they give you when they do that?

Must be kinda hard to plan days off and such.

I bid check airmen in JAN/FEB and MAR. Got bumped from the majority of my trips, so I believe the policy is still the same????

I think they used to have to pay the union for trips filled that were open in a seat, perhaps now they don't.
