Default Coming back from medical leave - seniority?

I've been out with some medical issues for about a year. It's looking like I'll be getting the all-clear to return in the next few weeks.
If I understand correctly, I can return to any category I could have held during any of the AEs from the past year.

Where/How is the best way for me to determine what my seniority would be in each category? I'm finding it difficult to find up to date information with all the movement and UNAs (I'm a late 2016 hire date).

Thanks!

The Alpa page is a good rough-n-ready guide to seniority by seat/base/equipment.

Alpa---->My MEC--->Pilot Dashboard. Various options - best overview is "Seniority by base", but remember this is only for currently active pilots.

(ALPA also has a calculator for # of pilots who commute by base, darned if I can find it though)

Dlnet has an updated "Category and Staffing List" under the Crew Resources/Scheduling Banner.

Default Seat Lock

Isn’t it true that if you have a seat lock that still applies? So if you were six months in to your two year seat lock when you went out on sick leave/disability then you would have to return to your old category regardless of AEs.

​​​​​​ Luckily, I'm not seat locked, but that is a good point.

Not sure about that. I thought once you were officially NBC it wiped the slate clean?

I was told by an official with DPMA that your seat lock would still apply if you can still hold your seat. Seems like he should know but not official.

PWA 13.C will tell you what you can and cannot do.
