Confused?
I started at RAH before the Republic type certificate on the E-170 in May 2004ish. We finished ground school in PIT but never went to the sim and were "let go." Upon starting up again in August under the CHQ certificate I still retained my DOH of May 2004. Wouldn't past precident apply and mean you had a DOH of when you first started training and not start you over again? I didn't even have to do the $150/week training again and my pay raises were all based on the May 2004 training. Not trying to stur a pot. This is just what happened to us. Even the reverand agreed we needed to be kept on the seniority list where we were. An email was sent out by the union explaining why the 3 of us reappeared on the seniority list with the date we had.
Hope this helps you get at least some more $$ out of those bloodsucking turnips in the RAH executive suites.
