Nothing transfers except longevity for retirement purposes (years of service,) provided all the youngsters have not negotiated us out of the A plan by then, in favor of a bigger B fund. No time counts for vacation purposes. However, anything that has a waiting period, like insurance, the few travel benefits we get, or the start of the 401K and B Fund, will start immediately, as your time served will count towards any waiting period.
Also, make sure you are "still in the pool." Although the rules periodically change, it traditionally has been once you are an employee, you can no longer be hired like an external. You have to go through whatever interview and waiting period that requires (different jobs within the company, like training instructors, corp pilots, and regular ramp folks have different requirements.)

He has already completed the pilot interview process as a pro-instructor and will be offered a chance to go to the line in two years.

That is not correct the vacation accrual was changed with first contract. I lost 10 yrs worth of vacation when hired to line in 99.

You and me both, although it was only 3 1/2 for me. I was in the first class after the initial contract, and the ex-professional 4 seniority numbers ahead of me, in a class prior to the contract, kept his time. I asked my block rep about getting it fixed on the next contract (the 06 one) and was told it was an issue that affected very few people and was not worth the effort.
