Is it true that all retirees with 20 years or less seniority are no longer allowed to non-rev based on their date of hire? I have heard they will be boarded after all other active non-revs. If this is true, what is the logic? Seniority has always been a time honored tradition.

[/blockquote]In a letter to employees, President and CEO Dave Siegel outlined several enhancements to the employee travel program, most of which are effective Jan. 1, 2003. Changes include: the eligibility of single employees to register a companion for term pass travel privileges; allowing retirees to purchase up to four companion passes each year; and a modification to employee lifetime travel eligibility, which specifies that employees hired after Jan. 1, 2003, will be granted lifetime travel privileges once retired from US Airways if they are at least 55 years of age and have achieved 10 years of service. Beginning in April 2003, a change in boarding priority will allow active employees and retirees with 20 or more years of service to board at a higher priority than retirees with fewer than 20 years of service. And, ID-90 travel privileges on other airlines will be introduced at a later date for domestic partners and their eligible children.
