So just to clarify the "status" thing... since you said "within the pilots ranks"...
Pilots have top priority then? Or a flight attendant, gate agent or any other position in the company will have the priority if she/he is more senior?
Should I assume that basically, the only one that will bump me out of a flight is a more senior pilot, no one else? Did I get it right?
Sorry and thank you.

Non revenue travel is generally by company hire date, regardless of position. I know some of the furloughed Continental pilots have a travel date later than their hire date, but I think that’s only a few hundred people.
There are also a limited number of vacation passes that place you in a higher status, but within that higher status it’s still based on hire date. So if you use a vacation pass, and so does another employee, hire date will determine who goes first.
