Well then I stand corrected and accept defeat. I specifically asked this during the interview, before upgrades were where they are now and I was expecting to be here longer, and was assured that if the 145 didn't go to Houston that once my seat lock was up I would be able to then bid for a position in which ever aircraft would be based there if a position was available. I told this by Ron Graff and Linda Bannister while in the coffin size interview room. I just took it to heart.
After reading over it I have to say the CBA doesn't prohibit moving right seat to right seat. It just says the company doesn't have to do it. So saying that the only way you can move is you must move to higher pay might not hold. I guess it's just the company's decision. Like I said Ron Graff and Linda seem to think otherwise (as well as whoever the hell it was teaching indoc at the time).
