The whole "occupational date" crap has never made any sense. If you are awarded a fleet with a long training backlog, you will get screwed out of hundreds of numbers-through no fault of your own. (I know guys who had to sit for two months before training. That is simply not right.)

Changing to a policy of first date on property would have been good for everyone.

Instead, our union is making sure to go out of its way to screw one side.
