Moral of the story- on the "paper" we went by prior merger seniority was exactly the same as everywhere else. We simply didn't have a DOH until we passed our checkride. That impacted pay and benefits. Both XJ and CJC were "hired" with a DOH on day 1 of class. For the SLI class date and DOH for 9E were agreed to be "one in the same" for day 1 of class. The actual order of the list doesn't move a single person but DOES move the DOH for each pilot up 6-8 weeks. We still retain our old (later) date for pay and benefit accrual (longevity).

I hope this is done, finalized, and out tomorrow.
