Reinstatement questions
Getting reinstated to my previous A seat after spending 3 months away. (I told CR at the time I thought this was useless...what did that just cost the company? A full initial, Greenies while I was displaced, training buys, etc)...
So now I have a questions...
What seniority am I bidding with for vacation?
My A seat lock was originally expiring in Feb. Does it still?
Anybody know what a short requal course usually looks like?
Either way, glad to get my old seat back.

You no longer have a seat lock. At least that’s the way it worked for me years ago.
Don’t know about the short requal. Maybe you just have to do a recurrent?

Any time you (or anyone!
) get a layover here in SEA, as long as I'm home, I'll meet you in downtown for an adult beverage! Just let me know.Denny

Conversion Date. A pilot who:
at the start of training required for his AE, VD or MD, is projected to complete such training, exclusive of OE:
1) on or before the 16th day of a bid period, will be converted no later than the first day of such bid period, or
(2)after the 16th day of a bid period, will be converted no later than the first day of the following bid period.
Hopefully that can answer your question.

Denny has it correct but I will point out that those are “no later than” conditions. The company can (and has) converted earlier. Easiest way to tell is to wait for Jan 2nd or so when 31 Jan 2019 category list comes out then see what category you are in on that list.
