Ok so if it is correct that new hires being assigned can trigger Pass over Pay....When the new hires are activated in the 777 and someone is due pass over pay, how do they get their pay adjusted? Or is it automatically changed to the WB rate?

Should be automatic, trust but verify.

Quoting the contract is proof of nothing. Do the still have the little scales of injustice on the company version of the contract?

Quick question. Out curiosity, do you happen to know how often they pull apps to review? Is it periodically or is there a constant reviewing of apps? Thanks!

I thought somebody on here posted some good info about new hires not creating passover pay since there were unfilled seats in several W/B postings. Would be nice if our association would also clear this up...if they did, I missed it.

The simple version is,

Passover Pay is only triggered when a Junior Pilot activates in the Higher paying seat before a more senior Pilot. (Assuming no Passover Pay waiver for a training slot trade).

The Senior Pilot must have been awarded the same seat in the same Domicile on the same Posting as the more Junior Pilot.

If there were unfilled vacancies from a previous posting, the company can place New hires in these vacancies and there is NO passover pay generated since the more senior pilot could have bid one of these vacancies in an earlier posting, but chose not to.

Passover is generally pretty clear when things are moving upward. It isn't quite as clear when things move backward, as they did during 4 a 2 b and massive 2 excess bids and as well as very Junior Captains in an FDA.

Default Hiring...

Anyone know how FEDEX looks at V-22 Osprey time? I have 6200TT with time in helicopters, airplanes and powered lift. I see that FEDEX has gone from TPIC time in airplanes required to preferred, but the pilot requirements page only speaks to not accepting helicopter time with no reference to powered lift time. Also, any idea on their stance for having only completed the ATP written, but not having taken the checkride for the rating?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Pilot Credentials has a spot for a V-22 time. I have not heard how, if at all, they handle it.

On the initial screening questionnaire (at least when I opened my application account), it asked it you have an ATP. If you answer no, you can't open an application. I would not say yes until you actually have one.

I believe the passover issue is with people that were awarded a WB seat and the company trains a new hire in that seat before someone who was awarded it trains. That will generate passover for those folks.

Correct, but I believe many pilots think (incorrectly) that when the Company Hires Pilots directly into a WB seat that it "Automatically" Generates Passover pay for all NB FO's.

This belief is false based on my previous Post.

Certainly if you choose a NB seat, you are not entitled to WB passover pay.
