If I lose reinstatement rights I can still fill out a VD and try to get it back that way, right? I'm not seat locked.
Thanks,

The conversion date is the first day of the month in your MD'd equipment. (Or the date MMC appears on iCrew if you're a mid-month conversion). You are correct about the reinstatement, however if the posted vacancies are filled by displacements senior to you, you're out of luck. So as people keep getting jettisoned from the top to fund the bottom "YMMV".
All else is correct as well. No seat lock and you keep your vacation. Until you VD or AE back. Then you lose your vacation :facepalm:
