No, these age 60+ S/Os moved to the S/O seat without a bid because of the "regulated age", once the "regulated" age changes the reverse should be true. How has the company handled the situation in the past when a pilots's medical situation forced him out of the left seat and his medical situation was resolved at a later date? When things have changed in the past pilots have always been able the go to any position their seniority would hold.

I believe the company will do the right thing by these over 60 S/Os, sorry I'm not as confident the same will hold true for ALPA. I hope I'm wrong on that point. The EEOC may have something to say about any restriction on the age 60+ S/Os returning to either the left or right seat.
