But now you posted that ^

What happens to pay for -
Me?
A 787 FO bumping down to 73/guppy FO?
A 756 Capt bumping to Triple or 78 FO?
A 73/Guppy Capt bumping to 73/Guppy FO?

I hate to write this.. but we need to start seeing some 'examples'

Also.. I get bumped to Airbus FO. A 2yr 78 FO gets bumped to Airbus FO and the next person junior to me gets bumped to Airbus FO?
Who goes first? I was always under the impression that it went by seniority order unless the 2yr person already had a furlough notice. After tonight, not sure about that anymore.
If I go before the other 2.. I believe I'd still be pay protected on the 756 rate, correct?

CRAZY F'ing times~

I’m guessing Douggie’s critique is that it would seem UA and JB are cutting hours without the “voluntary” part. Are the reductions already included in those employees contracts? Then Doug would certainly be outside of his lane, and wouldn’t be the first time.

I was actually beginning to be a little more hopeful for the industry future until yesterday’s townhall with this Network Planner named Ankit. Wow, what a bunch of hubris.He spent 4 minutes explaining why we’ve cut more than DL/AA, and how we will shrink to profitability. Dodged the question of how we will get bookings if we don’t offer any flight schedule, while our competitors do.

Please,SK offer me early out like AA.

When does the Company trigger a pay reduction if bumped down?

Per UPA 8-F-7-b, pay goes down upon the LATEST of:

1. Activation, usually Operating Experience (OE).
2. The Displacement Bulletin Effective date (6/30/2020 in this case)
3. The date a pilot is no longer entitled to pay rate protection, in accordance with the provisions of UPA Section 8-F-5.

Close-in bookings are what create a vacuum right now as trying to book anything after a reduced schedule load shows 2-3 connections to get places.

What torqued me was the "fluff" stuff at the beginning of the event. I fully appreciate, respect and recognize every pilot doing stuff in our communities right now during this pandemic. They deserve recognition, but I thought that could have been left to Bryan's flight operations update published on the iPad instead of taking valuable time away from pressing matters.
