Much less common for us but we do have a handful of pilots who were once mechanics or flt attendants, etc.
They keep their original seniority for vacation bidding and non-revving.
Correct. Lots of these over the last few years. Many were on leave up to the morning they came to new hire class as a pilot. They cancel their leave and show up to class without ever stepping in to their old job.
They have also transferred or given credit to other employees from ASA and the like. Had a few friends who were ops agents that came to DAL in 2007. They all got credit for their yos for pass benies and vacation.
