Sonny, I say ...if you have 8 years on property,flying the line or riding the reserve train,you should be placed above the guy with 7 yrs, 11 mos and 30 days. How would one have 8 years if they were hired early 2001? Furloughed oct/nov 2001...recalled summer 2007, then furloughed again in 2008/early 2009.. My math adds up to less than 3 total years jerking gear..not happy about it, but where do you get 8 years?
