So... how much does it cost to change my SSN #? Maybe something like 001-01-0001? (or maybe 001-01-000.1?)

You'd want to go for 9999. That's the #1 in class. In classes up through August 07 they had 0000 be number 1... then realized they misread it. How? I don't know. The story was that one of the newhires caused a fuss about it. If that's true, that took some brass balls on their part.

Could be wrong, but I think they alternate between lowest-first and highest first. So having an excessively high or low seniority number could help or hurt you depending on how they run the numbers for that class.

I'd say the real numbers will be much more apparent to all of us over the next few months, and beyond. Can't wait to see how you'll spin that.
Um... So we can take that as a no?

A few CA skeds are out via the backdoor. Interesting to see that the DC9A plug was able to hold Thanksgiving off.

Must have changed to SSN in early 01, as I was 01 myself and had SSN applied

It would be nice to be able to see how far up each list the unstacking/coverage awards went. Might help folks bid holidays better.

Bias against 000-XX-XXXX is OK. Affirmative action to right a wrong against the 999s was very much needed.
