What you seem to be missing is that these individuals bid out of ANC on a following bid and had not started training for ANC yet. They were then trained for ANC and did a touch and go there and then came to MEM ahead of all those that bid MEM on the same bid they did. Their ANC bid should have been canx and then trained in seniority order for MEM.
As far as gaming the system goes, we shouldn't have to game the system, especially when it comes to seniority. We are always told to bid what and where you want to fly.
If you don't have all of the info, maybe you shouldn't talk about the contract being clear in the area under dicussion, because it is clear to those of us who were affected.
