I'm a new guy starting in May. At what point are you not considered a "new hire" as stated in 5.3(a)(i)?

5.3(a) New Hires​

</B>

All pilots hired after the date of ratification of this Agreement shall, upon their date of​

​

hire, incur a two (2) year equipment lock​

You are not considered a new hire after your equipment lock is completed or you upgrade... before your 2 yr initial equipment lock.

The purpose of being considered a new hire is to Not be restricted from upgrading to Captain based on the arbitrary assignment of aircraft type by the company upon initial hiring. No one has an advantage or disadvantage in upgrading to Captain based upon this initial aircraft assignment.

In the past it was possible to upgrade before persons senior to you simply because of this arbitrary assignment. These more senior persons were considered BYPASSED for upgrade. They received PIC pay while still SICs since a junior pilot upgraded only because of the Equipment locks.

The company does not want to pay PIC pay to SICs. Therefore you will NOT be restricted from being awarded the first available PIC spot your seniority can hold.

If howevever you bid and get awarded an SIC spot in another type... You will be held to the equipment lock and can no longer win a Captain position in another type for 2 yrs.​

When you start getting hair on your chest or at the end of probation, whichever occurs first.

 

[PUCKFA18]

RJ Bum: you are only probation for one year. So, May 2008 your off probation and still have another year of seatlock.

aceterry: I have the new "improved" blackberry

"Blackberry's." Or poor grammar?

 

[PUCKFA18]

Excuse me gentlemen............ Now, I know why they warned me about this board. Since I seem to bother you all with my grammar and spelling, I'll make this my last psot.

Enjoy

Was just ribbing Grump on his grammar while complaining about spelling.

Nice try, gun. Try reading it as "The Blackberry is..." ("The Blackberry's..."). Get it now?

I am not familiar with contractions of any form of the verb "to be" combined with nouns. I have only seen this with pronouns like it's, he's, she's, they're.

How nice is my try now?
