So they let you guys lapse in October?? On purpose?? That's nuts! Did they let the CPC-ITs and D2s recert?
I actually can't believe they didn't have the D2s back for staffing forever ago to extend 5/10. Her area 100% wanted her back to help keep their sweet schedule intact, but they'd fucked up and let her lapse in May, promising a waiver that never materialized. To my knowledge, everyone with any (current) D-sides in June was kept current and later recalled to keep the schedule. Some of those have since gone through R school, but folks who were in R school last March have no certs anymore and will essentially start from scratch whenever they figure out a plan. Guess she'll have some real seniority on the trainee bid line for the next couple of years...
Interesting that they brought your CPC-ITs back first. Was that before or after they intentionally lapsed you? She wasn't given any reason to think that she'd be called back any quicker than the others in her R-school and are also past a year.
