Could be wrong but that was from a Union guy.

They did not fix that during the mix. Former pinnacle still goes by check ride for longevity.

I saw that. I just looked at the seniority list again.

. Thanks for the help guys.

The LOA is only for people who have been gone for less than 5 years. If you've been gone longer the only thing you get back is your employee number. Sorry you won't get the benefits of this LOA.

If you resigned and came back inside of 5 years you get the benefits of the LOA. If you left on the Leave of absence then you get your full seniority back. Outside of 5 years you will return as any new hire.
