No. I am referring to the pilots who realized they could get trained on the 717 in the summer of 2013 and then not fly at all for a few months because there were no airplanes on property. The DAL seat lock is normally 2 years, the new hire seat lock is 1 year. You can get out of a seat lock if a new category opens: an existing type goes to a new domicile or a new type arrives on property; or, if you are upgrading to a 1st time captain. As a side note, had the most recent TA been voted through new hires would have had a 2 year seat lock (with a few escape clauses). If I were a betting man I'd gamble that whenever TA-X is passed, it will have the same provision and pilots already on property probably won't spend any negotiating capital to make it go away.

I'm just swimming in the pool but I would think that the seat lock would change for the next set of new hires that show up on property AFTER the TA passes. Assuming they change that section for new hires. Anyone that was on property before the TA was approved SHOULD keep the lock that was in force when they showed. YMMV

Capt Kraby told my group (29 Sep) that 2 737s were red X'd but did not mention for how long or how the 737s were choking up the pipeline.
Bueller? Bueller?....
