There should be no reason to have to give up a seniority number anywhere to go somewhere else. My advice is fight to get your number back at TSA and don't give up your number at XJ. TSA doesn't require you to give up seniority at XJ if you accept a recall as far as I know. I'd give somebody at the TSA MEC a call about getting back on the list there due to forfeiting seniority under duress. I've heard from a friend that ExpressJet wouldn't allow people to surrender their numbers there. That's how it should be.
