That's under the new contract.
When he was hired, he fit out of the Phenom and was placed in the XLS. When the first available PIC bid reached his seniority number and was awarded to him, it was in a Phenom and he had just over a year left on his new hire lock. Since he already fit out of the Phenom, his PIC seat was in an XLS. BUT, they tacked on a full 39 month seat lock to his remaining lock since the upgrade was "technically" in the Phenom. Voila. More than four years. And although that may have changed for NEW upgrades under the amended agreement, his lock would have still stood. So, because the company LOVES screwing its pilots, another great guy and pilot left.
