They can elect to not fill contingent or posted vacancies, it's not abrogation of seniority because they can't simply offer those slots to new hires or someone junior to you. They didn't "hold you back" because they simply elected not to fill those positions at all at this time. If they want those positions they do have to post through an AE so you would still have the opportunity to bid on it them and they would still have to be actually awarded in seniority order. If their concern is making sure the new hires make it to NYC in a way that increases manning there I expect that they will likely elect to post those vacancies when they have a 365 AE available so they can delay the conversions leaving NYC.
