As far as I know, there isn't any contractual language about when people are called to the sims. It is definitely advisable to tell the training department if a written exam is close to expiry. That can avoid a few headaches down the road...

Why would that be in the contract? It would be common sense.

What did you lose? That's like saying if you're in the same class as a new hire you should be in the sim first because your last name started with an 'A'.
Did they lose seniority??? No! There way more crap to cry about then this. hahahahahahahaha Omg!

Well to start, cause it's not fair that a more senior person should wait to get into sims and delay the time he/she can hit the line and start crediting more time and per diem. Those things equal more money. But I can understand how something like that could be overlooked when signing a new TA. Hard to thing about the people who aren't on property yet

One thing you'll learn in this business is there are going to be tons of times you feel like its not fair. You pick your battles. This one wouldn't be one of them for sure.

In both the new hire classes I've attended, the more senior you were the later the start date for the sim you choose. Why not enjoy six weeks home getting paid while the junior guys go right from indoc to sim?
