I'm ticked that my CRJ class is cancled but new hires are getting the jet over me. I've been here two years and I still can't get back to the jet. Guys below me are already in class for DFE which was my second choice behind DFC. Why wouldn't my bid just default to DFE if my DFC class was cancled. Now I have guys junior to me in the status that I bid for. Doesn't seem very fair in a seniority based way.
I had something similar happen. I am in the May 10th EMB class and requested to go in the March 29th class if there was a vacancy. A vacancy came up but someone junior to me on the EMB got it instead. The reasoning was because his base was different than mine he had a higher priority b/c they apparently need one OFE more than one NFE. Apparently it goes: Base, Bid Status, Seniority when putting recalls in class.
Not a happy camper but at least when I get out of class I have everyone under me that I possibly can so I may not even need a crash pad this time around.
With 10-12 guys below me in LGA will I end up in the middle of the reserve list or the lower half? I know that guys in the middle tend to fly less because when on RAP it never gets to them and when they proffer they're just slightly not senior enough.
