Seniority is the rule even under the new system. There just isn’t any vacancies anymore. You can’t cry foul if you chose to pass up vacancies on three previous bids. There is no longer the mass vacancies. End of story.

Not true. Money can’t be lost when someone choose to not bid what they could hold on a previous vacancy bid. Now we don’t have those vacancies. That’s the ups and downs of the industry. If you are claiming money is lost so could the numerous pilots who would get bumped in a bump and flush garbage system like we previously had. Are you claiming we should do an entire re-bid of every seat and base to “truly honor seniority”? Doesn’t work that way at any airline. Good job contract 15’ on fixing this problem.
Our contract is a joke. In no way what so ever should a junior guy be allowed to train ahead of a senior guy without that senior guy getting Pass Over Pay. And yes I POP because SDL is a joke. Yeah I’ll wait for your explanation. |

Easy explanation. An FDA pilot has a time limit imposed by a foreign country that they temporarily resided in. Once the time is hit they must legally leave. If you want that “advantage” then bid an FDA and do the required time per the contract. Not that complex. Are you done crying yet? I bet the crocodile tears are piling up on your keyboard.

Careful what you ask for. If 10 years of MEM RA is what you're looking for, you might just get it. If and when things turn around, there will be people coming in on top of you for a very long time. |

Those who are worried about clinging to things they can't really hold seniority-wise are missing the point that the company would do a whole lot less of all of this crap under a bump and flush system. It's far more expensive.

I bid it as one of the last 10 on the 757 list a few bids ago and now this bid happened so I won't be on the very bottom. It looks to me like I'll probably be able to hold lines starting next month on Secondary but most months I'd like to be on reserve. I moved to MEM so that I could bid things at 100%, sit reserve, and not work. RA is fine with me. All of us in MEM need yall to take up all that night flying so we don't have to do it. |

What you are describing is on every bid every seat and domicile is rerun. This would cause chaos and not 1 airline does it in this manner. Your seniority allows you to hold whatever you can hold on the vacancy bid. If there is no vacancies, then you have nothing to use your seniority for. If there are vacancies and you choose to not exercise your seniority, you can’t then complain when the following bid has no vacancies. You chose that.
