Oddly enough, when I transferred almost 10 years ago to where I'm at now, the language was interpreted as after 6 months if I switch shifts my seniority dove tails...well...it did and I got bid positions and even went driving about 6 years ago, but during my 30 days, I dropped out myself because the 22.3 jobs were starting to come around and I wanted the day/pm air shift. That's when they said they made a mistake and shouldn't have got my seniority back. My steward and I went to panels with the posted seniority list argument and I still lost anyway. It honestly depends on who your BA is and if you can make it to panels to stare at everyone working. Otherwise they trade your case like a baseball card. That's what happened to me. I couldn't make it to Montana and my case got traded. People still fell through the cracks around me and I had to wait till now to go driving.
