Since the Company has elected to invoke 4.A.2.b., how does that impact 25.D.2.a-e.? VTOs are to be built to the same parameters as regular lines, except that R-days may be used. So, if there's a 13 hour split between low and high lines, and the Company has established the low at 48, how can they establish a high line value below 61? I won't argue the targeted or average line values, but 59:xx is below the contractual 13 hour split.
Have we waived, or given back on this, too? Every B-727, MEM A-300, MEM MD-11 F/O, crew member that's got a VTO with a targeted high VTO value less than 61 should be asking the question.
As long as 'regular' lines fall within the 13 hour split - I think they're legal. Any ideas?

My bet is they had to buy it up to within 13 hours of the high bidpack line.

Remember, you have the right to move forward with a grievance, even if it is against the advice or wishes of ALPA. I think the members of our union are a lot more fed up with what's going on, than the attorneys in ALPA are. There might be a reason for ALPA to ask you not to file the grievance, but you’ll have to weigh the legitimacy of that reason that yourself.

This should be interesting
Taking a sneak peek at my VTO line award for May, I'm sitting in the 40's for CH value. The high BLG values is 70 for my seat, meaning the low should be 57... which is the lowest value I should see for my line, right? Tomorrow will be interesting. Up until this point at least, the sneak peek has always been right on so we'll see what happens tomorrow.

I have had vto's the last three months. I have been bought up March and April...we will see what I get tomorrow. It has been interesting, but I have been getting a little more than RLG...so I can't complain too much.
