I can't think of another airline that does it this way either. Since this company has never seen backwards movement like this before I can't see how anyone can say there is precedent with this. I think we are in uncharted territory and if there ever was precedent you can gleam it by looking at the other airlines and how they go backwards which is seniority period. That is why it becomes so expensive to furlough at the legacies because you end up training a guy in 3-4 different seats within a couple years. Our company has managed to avoid this somehow with the way it awards training. Personally I can't see how you wouldn't have to pay passover to a guy who is senior and has been excessed while a junior excessed guy sits in his wanted seat making more money do to the training letter dates. It is obvious that the company has designed the training letter specifically to allow them to have there cake and eat it too. They know many of these guys will never go to the training they have been excessed to because they designed it this way. I think ALPA needs to look at this closer.
