I’m only referring to other positions within the company. Not taking a LOA from let’s say a gate agent to become a pilot later on. Yes, if you take a LOA in accordance with the UPA, which applies only to pilots you retain your seniority. The other poster claiming you keep non-rev seniority and vacation is not correct.
