If there are 250 over 60 FE's at UPS, it seems to me that would cause displacements. Does anyone have an opinion as to whether option #1 or option #2 are more likely.
I think before we displace anyone we would have to have a bid. If that happened, I don't think a displacement would affect anyone already in the seat.
