Yes.. and several people I know that are new here or first year here are planning to quit because of it. Terrible that the company is doing this "forced" upgrade.
People were given DFW, moved to DFW. Signed apartment leases and now displaced to LGA CA (while people JUNIOR to them, including new hires get to stay in their current seats in DFW). That is extremely wrong when someone junior to you gets to stay and you are forced to commute across the country to a horrible reserve system with virtually no days off after preassigned RAPs, (and you will be forever junior on the fleet and be stuck with horrid relative seniority since everyone will keep upgrading above you). Seniority means nothing here when this happens...
By coming here with more experience their quality of life is severely penalized due to out of seniority order displacements. Some people may want to waste 40 hours a month commuting across county with 1 day off a week to upgrade ASAP. Many with families and other obligtions do not. Seniority "should" protect that right to choose, but it doesn't. They should be hiring street CA's over forcing anyone into this situation.
