Tino doubled down and said that junior pilot is only covered by the discretionary bypass, at this stage, for the period of their initial lwop period applied for prior to August 7th.
Therefore, the only way the junior pilot could avoid CR at that 13 month mark we are speaking about, would be to apply for more than 13 months lwop before August 7th. Eg. lwop for 2 years applied for prior to August 7th.
It’s a disgusting thing they’re doing but as it states in the eba, bypass is at their discretion. They’re drawing a line by using their discretion to bypass. Appalling.
Yes that is correct. If you had work and could secure yourself financially, the smart thing to do would be to take LWOP for a period that should cover this COVID scenario till it’s well and truely played out. Looking ahead thats probably at least 3 years. Fun times.
