There's language in the contract that says the company isn't required to allow this, but I couldn't find anything that specifically prohibits it. I don't know if the company allows this in certain situations, or if the story is bull and nobody is allowed to do it.
I've read the same part of the contract. Others have said you specifically CAN'T do it but it says the company simply doesn't have to allow it. With the way they are pushing for the 170s your butt isn't moving. However the last bid did relieve people of they seatlocks to the CRJ if they wanted. I wouldn't be surprised if this changed in the next contract.
