b. If the Company hires fewer pilots than the number of unfilled vacancies available to be filled by new hires, the Company may designate the crew positions to be made available for bidding by only the affected new hire pilots in accordance with Section 24.E.5.a. (above).

c. If the Company subsequently hires additional pilots to fill new hire crew positions remaining unfilled from a posting, the remaining unfilled crew positions shall first be available for award to the pilots previously hired to fill positions from that posting, based upon their seniority and initial standing bid; provided, however, that this paragraph shall not permit a new hire pilot to change his initial crew status.

d. If, through the application of Section 24.E.5.c. (above), a junior pilot is activated into a crew position for which a senior pilot(s) did not have the opportunity to bid, the eligible senior pilot(s) shall be paid passover pay in the same manner described in Section 24.D.2.b., D.2.c., and D.2.d.

...how I read that, and how it has applied in the past, is that if viperdriver bid:

1 777FO MEM 100
2 MD-11FO MEM 100
3 Airbus FO MEM 100

on this bid and was awarded none of those, then they have a newhire class and put one newhire pilot into the Airbus in MEM, viperdriver would get passover when that newhire activates in Bus.

Now, the question is if they put that newhire into the MD in ANC, would viperdriver get passover, because it is NOT on his standing bid? Paragraph c above makes it sound like no, he would not.

See my earlier post, if he bids A300 and does not get it they cant put a new hire in that seat either. Think of it this way, new hires can only go into seats left vacant after a posting closes. They can hire every one of those vacancy's without offering any of those seats again to existing pilots but once they run another bid the same sequence starts and the only way they can hire into a seat is into the newest batch of unclaimed seats.

In your post, you should have highlighted the part I put in red. That paragraph is talking about new hires using their seniority to get the seats that are available to them(because those seats weren't filled on a vacancy bid) when hired...

I believe Sluggo is correct ... And one wouldn't get passover for MD in ANC if its not on one's standing bid

I think I am, too.

I was on the back of the 72 when the nuggets were hired. It didn't affect me, but I seem to remember the engineers that were hired prior to the nuggets getting passover once the nuggets activated into ANC. Assuming they had MD-11 FO ANC on their standing bid. They were on property, there was no unfilled MD-11 FO ANC seats left unfilled from a previous bid, the company put newhires into that seat and they did not have the opportunity to bid for it.

If one of those guys/gals are on here, could you clear up if you received passover due to the nuggets going to ANC...

Again, I could be wrong, but I believe that's how the company applied that paragraph back then.

If there are unfilled seats then by definition you had the opportunity to bid on them in the previous posting and didn't.

That is interesting about the wording in 25.E, I hadn't thought about that provision.

The bottom line is though, they are hiring into vacancies left over from the previous bid that Viper had the opportunity to bid on, as 4A2B points out.

Again, bottom line is call contract enforcement.

Sorry for any bad gouge.

yes they would have received passover, the 727FE(s) and that is passover as part of the new hire clause. There were unfilled vacancy's in ANC, that is the only way they can hire. If there are 100 open seats (systemwide) and you get hired in the first class, the Company can limit the seat choices to, say all 727 , and then next class goes to ANC and eventually fills up all the unfilled seats. You have ANC11FO on your bid you get Passover, in today's world though there are enough openings that once they run the next bid you will most likely be able to hold the seat that generated your new hire passover pay so you have to make a choice, lose your passover or bid to the higher paying seat. In a static world if ANC was full and you could not be awarded any of your other choices you would stay in the 727 and retain passover.

Bottom line the OP will never get passover again for a new hire being hired because once this bid closes he will have had the opportunity to bid any seat that they can subsequently hire into.

I've had a beer tonight......but what I remember as a 727FE was that we bid ANC F/o in the big bid, were awarded it, and then the company said, "we are going to put new hires, (nuggets) into training before you and you will get Passover pay". But Passover pay was nil because they were on first year pay (as were we for awhile). Don't get me started on what happened a little while later when the ANC excess happened and the nuggets stayed and the senior guys got kicked back to the 727 out of seniority order.....
