This is true, I do believe. The press to test on that one has been established. A Subic FO bid HKG Capt, was awarded it, and did not sign the training letter. He did not have to go. Contractually, with this new bid out, everyone has the option to big HKG, be awarded it, not sign the letter, and not go.
In this instance, if you had received any passover pay for HKG Cap in the meantime, wouldn't you have to pay it back?

I'm one of those 38 excessed 727 Capts. I have a MD-11 training date coming up, after all this excess stuff is supposedly going to be done. I'm trying to string it along, but didn't bid the 777 F/O for many reasons. Questions is, I really don't care which WB F/O seat I go to, but if on the excess I bid to relieve and switch to the Airbus, do I go to training after those from previous bids? I know the order for bidding to relieve is in seniority order, but what about training across bids? What if I bid 777 F/O now?

All that passover has to be paid back.

I was actually thinking more towards someone in my situation (junior NB Cap) who might be inclined to bid HKG CAP for passover during the excess, receive the POP for a while, and then actually get assigned to HKG and refuse to sign.

How would you be "assigned" to HKG? There would have to be a bid and the guys over there would have to hold something "stateside" before there was an opening. Unless they opened a MD domicile over there I would think you would be pretty safe.
