Carl??? How about a little history lesson here. If seniority is everything, why have ANY reinstatement rights whereby a junior pilot takes a slot that a senior pilot wants....
That's not exactly right. Recall rights were base specific.
(I don't think I met your qualifications exactly, so I will just settle for the beer.)
What's wrong with permanent recall rights anyway? I was shocked that the Old Delta didn't have them. 180 days is a joke and not even worth the contract paper it's written on. I bet they would save the company more money in training cost than single engine taxing. But, not my newly won beer. I will not wager that for anything.
