Our airline doesn't plan well. Our airline forces us to live up to our training freezes, run an efficient airline, taxi on one motor, use ARF 90 fuel plans, and run it lean and mean. Yet, they spend about 30K per pilot on each training cycle and maybe more when doing out of base/remote training cycles. Then, they forced repeated cycles on people mandating they go to new seats and or airplanes just taking up more resources.
No way can we be profitable with this bafoonery. No way.

I, for one, am not.

I think what happened was there were enough volunteers senior to him that by the time it came to his request the pilot that he would have been "replacing" on the displacement list didn't have the seniority to hold EWR 756 CAP, so his volunteer bid couldn't be awarded. I am guessing that is the only request he had on his Displacement bid, so since he couldn't get the EWR 756 Captain, he wasn't awarded a voluntary Displacement.

Actually looking at the final bid award that closed Friday, he did not pull his EWR 756 bid.
The company pulled it after the union pointed out the company's error in properly following the contract.
Due to a large number of volunteers, Ben would have been forced to use a lower seniority number to bump as a volunteer, or he could just wait until the next IAH 737 CA bump round and use his proper seniority to bid EWR 756 if that is what he chooses.

Looks like he missed it by less than 25 numbers.
Maybe next time........
