The comany disregarded seniority to build up pilots hours to 1500 priot to the FAA deadline, by building low time pilots high time lines and subjecting senior FOs to reserve and terrible schedules. A grievance was filed and the arbitrator ruled in our favor and awarded everyone affected some money and 2 return days to be removed from flying. Since thst ruling our staffing has been bad and the company has blanket denied people from utilizing the return days in most bases and statuses. Won't affect any new hires, but something that is frustrating to those affected.
