This part in section 11 is however specific and since they made a point of including it in the contract I think what you post is correct or they would have also posted something similar in the MD section. You could certainly make the case for your interpretation using this.
Exception: There is no requirement to post a vacancy that is filled by a pilot who is reinstated to such position within 180 days or six bid periods of his MD.
Fair enough....and that exception you reference could/will apply if the 9 DTW350B MDs bid back, regardless of others seniority, when the company posts an AE to the 350 to fill the other 35 proposed vacancies (see 22.F.12). I honestly think CR was a bit short-sighted on this one by not posting at least, say 10-15 DTW350B vacancies.
