Maybe he should have just used an empty Mike's Hard Lemonade bottle... unless the CP is running a lab test? Why the heck is the CP locking out the rest of the pilots? I believe the crew rooms are contractual 24/7... contact your alpo rep.

I don't think you are seatlocked if you are reinstated, but someone that's had that happen firsthand will come along shortly and confirm or set me straight.

The notepad is on Deltanet somewhere. Maybe near the bottom of the Crew Resources page. You can probably also find it somewhere in the File Library on the DALPA MEC website.
Call DALPA - they have people that will give you the straight stuff (including where to find it in the CBA) - this is one of the things we pay dues for.

Yes.

No. Been there, done that.

There is the Transition Working Group Notepad 09-18 Filing of Vacancies that has some information.

But as to your question, that's intriguing. Reinstatement's are run with the AE's, not MDs or VDs. I would guess that if there is a lot of shuffling going on and now there are vacancies in that category and they intend to fill those vacancies then the reinstatement would kick in right along with how an AE would do it. FWIW, I went NYC ER to ATL ER when there were no vacancies posted on the AE.

It says:

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.
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.
But this is all I could find on the PWA and I just want to ask what does posted mean? Is posted when it's announced on paper or posted is any time a vacancy is created during the AE process and it is to be filled?
23.F. says:
12. A pilot who holds an MD will, without regard to the standing bids of senior pilots, be
reinstated to the category from which he was displaced if:
a. a vacancy is posted in such category and the earliest conversion date stated in the
posting is within the 180 day period following the conversion date of his MD,
b. his standing bid indicates a request for such reinstatement, and
c. such vacancy has not been filled by reinstatement of a pilot senior to him who was
also awarded an MD from such category.
Whatever you do check the box to say you desire reinstatement.

16 seniors and 5 starting and only 6 on the 1st and 2nd string depth chart. We only returned 7 starters, I think we had the fewest starters returning in all FBS schools, I think.

Cam is what did it for Auburn last year, Nutt would be a better coach.

So during a large displacement bid to New York, someone decides to get silly and lock out a facility used by commuters instead of simply telling a cleaning person to toss a bottle in the garbage (or doing it themselves). How many hours of time were allocated to this "special project" ?

I always thought stories like this were from condensation, or had some other rational explanation ... now even I am beginning to wonder ...
