There is also a clause about bypass pay which no one seems interested in pursuing.
As to your question regarding SO to 73 FO they have in the past held people for various reasons but essentially it is the normal route and there is no such cap applied.
SHVC not sure if I’m reading you right so apologies in advance, but you do realise the ATR is and has been for 2 years a VA operation right?
Thanks 206greaser. If i read correctly, the group is still divided down EBA/organisational lines despite GDOJ seniority. Didn't realise that ATR was a VA operation. No a group pilot but applying and wanted to understand as best I can the implication of accepting any jobs on certain types. All come up as simple check boxes on the application but the longer term ramifications from one option to the next seem significant.
