Our Union is allowing this to happen and DW is at the helm. We, the membership, should hold him more accountable. In the past, he has gone against us and I only wrote letters to my rep. Well, not anymore!
4. Cancellation of Awards
a. The Company may cancel an award/assignment of a crew
position in reverse seniority order provided it does so at
least 30 days prior to the pilot’s scheduled training date.
A pilot whose award/assignment is canceled may either
remain in his current crew position, or exercise his seniority
for an award or a vacancy posting that occurred between
the date his crew position was awarded and the date it was
canceled.


This is section I am referencing. The only question I would have is the way this section reads it could lead you to think the bid they were awarded CDG on does not count for "exercising" their seniority. Good question for the Legal Staff, but I would think it would only be fair to allow those CDG pilots a chance to take another seat they could have otherwise held on 07-03 or 08-01 in my opinion.
