["seniority shall govern all pilots in cases of vacancy posting awards, bid period schedule awards" and so on.

Advocating something that VIOLATES the contract makes you nothing more than an independant contractor. You sound like the guy who is genuinely mad when the fellow crew member (same seat 10 years your SENIOR) bids "your" line. He's senior to you, and it's not YOUR line till EVERYONE senior to you DOESN't bid it.]

Marion Blakey has publicly stated that the over 60 group will not be covered by this FAR change. If it turns out that way will she be violating our contract? What Webb wants to do, and will do, is to spend union resources to try and change the FAAs stated position. So..our 64 year old engineer goes back to #1 on his A/C of choice, and a Southwest Captain who is 60 years and a week with no pension is SOL. Sounds fair.
