My point is, we shouldn't put the cart before the horse, I'd like to get hired at United before I fret on how seniority is established within a new hire class.
True enough. And along those lines never defer an interview or a class date. At the conclusion of his interview at DAL a friend of mine was offered a class date "next Tuesday." He wisely took it. He missed being furloughed by just about that much.
A guy in my class showed up to class with a healing broken foot. Training folks wanted to roll him to another class. He convinced them that by the time he needed his foot for any training it would be healed. They let him stay. Again, years later, being in that class kept him above the cut for a round of furloughs.
