Seems the adjunct position accomplishes that. The intent is certainly not to usurp the seniority system. Nor would I be interested in RSA/VDA.
If you have training experience you should apply to be an adjunct the next time a position is open. You'll need a recommendation from someone down in the schoolhouse.
