They mentioned that senior pilots with more than two years remaining were requesting a training bypass. That limited the bypasses that would be awarded to junior pilots with less time remaining. I bet there will be some surprised pilots in training this time.
My understanding is if they awarded a training bypass to a 1500 seniority pilot with 8 months remaining, they also have to honor 1499 who requested bypass with 3 years remaining. I can't find a contract reference, so please don't take this as fact.
