These are both for guys needing training, and no vacation waivers involved. There are more than a dozen examples.
I know of at least one case where the company told a fall converter that as long as he was slotted in seniority order in the category he came from, no pay protection. Whaaa?
This can't be right can it? It would seem to lend itself to all kinds of shenanigans.

8 many of the guys I have seen that "think" They are getting trained out of seniority need to call DALPA. There is this PWA, then the way that both DALPA and the company "understand" the PWA and allow it to operate.
As it has been explained to me. You are converted in Seniority or Inverse Seniority order depending on the type of conversion, based on the seat you are leaving, not the seat your are converting too.
For example folks here in ATL that are on the 767 but senior to those on the 7ER are converting earlier but going to the same jet. How? As stated seniority off the equipment you are on not the jet you are going too.
