So what was potentially going to finally start the movement as a very, very positive bid may be mitigated by the tons of displacements that the memo mentions.
If for instance, a lot of the displaced 7ER FOs take up a lot of the 717 Captain spots, the bottom guys may not see that much upward movement at all, yet again. So this bid in which we were all hoping for great thing gets pushed to a more "neutral" status, and we are once again treading water.
I am hoping for the best. but I don't see this memo as positive at all.

Overstaffed applied to copilot positions. A lot of copilots will move up to Captain on this bid. There will be fewer overall copilots but its better to move the surpluses to Captains seats then the street. Surpluses are always carried by the company in the lower paid seats for obvious reasons.
