It seems like the intent was to fill the PRIP vacancies with pilots from their respective former airlines. The method of awarding positions to displaced pilots before advancing pilots has been in Delta's contract as long as I've been here, and it's certainly in the contract we now work under.
Nope..... If the APA was just done the way they have always been nobody would be able to bid out of seniority. To say that that doing it this way protects PRIP positions is just wrong. You would not be able to bid a SEA330 position because it would not be available it would be filled by the APA.
