You have reinstatement rights to the -ER for I think a year or two. Hiring is only slowing, not stopping. I doubt if you get bumped or moved from SLC -ER.
Don't use AE preferences or VD preferences in this case unless you are not already SLC-ER.
Agree with you except reinstatement right only last 180 days from your MD conversion date:
A pilot who holds an MD will, without regard to the standing bids of senior pilots, be reinstated to the category from which he was displaced if:
a. a vacancy is posted in such category and the earliest conversion date stated in the posting is within the 180 day period following the conversion date of his MD,
b. his standing bid indicates a request for such reinstatement, and
c. such vacancy has not been filled by reinstatement of a pilot senior to him who was also awarded an MD from such category.
I'm concerned about being displaced myself. I'm going to try and stay on equipment first and hope to be reinstated because of future aircraft deliveries.
I figure, in the long run (assuming I do get reinstated), it will be less time commuting than going to a full blown training course. If I do go back to school on the 767, that'll make 4 times.
