First off, section 10.2 on Crew Direct says that SO's get bypass pay for extendees. Just checked, sorry to replace ranting with facts
in response to the previous question:
Previously, a lot of folks were given a choice on upgrading fleets. As I have heard it, this is what is currently happening:
Airbus so's get a 330 short course and are off and running (the junior ones are getting courses at less than 3 years from DOJ)
744 so's getting 777 at a later date; was told by a friend that consideration would be given on a "case by case" basis if you really wanted the 330. Some -400 so's do get the 330 as there is one on course this month.
777 so's haven't gotten to the top of the pile yet so I dunno
