well roberto unless age has affected your ability to read, you and the rest of your retread brothers are out of luck. great job
Well, I can still read, if the print is not too small, and the lighting is good, but better than that, I think I have the age-enhanced experience to comprehend the meaning of words <g>.
I think that subsection (c) says that one needs more than merely the provisions of subsection (a) as a basis for a claim of seniority. For example, a collective bargaining agreement could be a basis for such a claim, depending on the terms of the CBA. An example of such wording could be "Upon closing of a vacancy posting, crewmembers shall be awarded the vacancies in accordance with their system wide seniority and their preference bid, unless otherwise excepted by this Agreement."

Reason: clarification
that is wishful thinking, it clearly says that it shall provide no basis between a carrier and union for reemployment as a pilot after promotion or transfer to another position within the carrier in other words when this legislation passes the other position they are talking
about is fe.
I understand you have had yours and are desperately trying to take ours. If somehow you do end up back the level of hatred aimed at you and the others will be the same usually reserved for scabs.
