A pilot who has been involuntarily displaced may be reinstated to the category from which he was displaced ahead of pilots attempting to bid into that category if a vacancy is posted in that category with a conversion period that begins within 180 days of the conversion date of the MD.

As my hero Maxwell Smart would say "Missed it by that much."

Hey FTB, you $@#, tell the whole story.

Reinstatements to a category will be awarded in seniority order, and are processed as part of the AE bid awards. Available reinstatement rights are shown on the DBMS page for entering AE bid preferences.

A former NWA pilot who held return or reinstatement rights pursuant to the provisions of Section 24.E.10. of the NWA CBA on the day prior to October 30, 2008 will retain these rights subject to the provisions in
Section 22 F. 12.

I heard that you guys were over staffed by 1000 pilots a few months back. What happened since then?

Thanks,
As far as I know, there isn't any place to see this information.

I think the company said +700... so with this bid, we will probly be even during training and +550 when the dust settles. I don't see any hiring this coming year (2010)... If that what you're hinting at!

But also we didn't define what overstaffed meant.

Since its worth looking at again:

Awarding

AE, VD, and contingent vacancies are awarded in seniority order among pilots whose standing bid contains a preference for the category.

MDs and contingent displacements are awarded in inverse seniority order. A pilot who is being displaced may displace to any category in which there is a pilot junior to him.

A senior pilot may volunteer to be displaced (VD) in lieu of a junior pilot in his current category. A pilot who is being voluntarily displaced may:
a. Displace into a category to fill an existing vacancy that his seniority entitles him to hold,
b. Displace a pilot junior to him in the same position in a different base, or
c. Displace a pilot in any category who is junior to the pilot whose displacement he has volunteered to take.

A pilot’s bid preference for an AE will not be awarded if the award, together with any VD/MD(s) for the same category, would create a surplus that would cause a displacement in the category. In other words, a pilot’s VD or MD bid into a category will supersede a more senior pilot’s AE bid to that category.

A pilot who is awarded an AE or VD may be bypassed and pay protected at the higher hourly rate for the hours paid to him in his current category if his qualification training would be within:
a. Three years of the date he reaches the mandatory retirement age, by mutual consent between the pilot and the Company.
b. One year of the date he reaches the mandatory retirement age, at the Company’s discretion.
