It's very common among the flt attendants. They have lots of former gate agents, res agents, etc.
Much less common for us but we do have a handful of pilots who were once mechanics or flt attendants, etc.
They keep their original seniority for vacation bidding and non-revving.

Inter-company transfer is a possibility.

They have also transferred or given credit to other employees from ASA and the like. Had a few friends who were ops agents that came to DAL in 2007. They all got credit for their yos for pass benies and vacation.

...The A380 -- developed at an estimated cost of 12 billion euros and built in Britain, France, Germany and Spain -- has enough room on its wings to park 70 cars and a wingspan of 79.8m (261ft 10in)...
No wonder the wings are cracking - the idiots are parking cars on them.

Like I said, I welcome the transparency to assignment of SC's. I just hope the language leaves some flexibility in there to allow schedulers to continue to use guys with multiple days of availability. I figure it will as I have a hard time believing that they would sign anything that did otherwise.
I think you are correct in your assertion that when things pick up the system will make more sense. As a junior guy I just hope that slow times are slow for everyone not just a few
I think the use of YS'ing will be even more important now for the junior rsv pilots.

Naturally, junior guys who were able to tweak the system and get better deals (often at odds with their seniority) may feel some discomfort in the pants. But frankly, I'm glad that the system will more accurately address seniority.

Well, to be fair, the whole reason for negotiating this LOA was so that those "adversely affected" are affected based on seniority, and not on an arbitrary and opaque basis.

Seniority should rule, Tab, don't you agree?
