Short answer to the question no the existing P will not be downgraded.... The senior FO will just have to put his or her bid in and wait for another vacancy to roll around..... but one upgraded the senior FO will get priority on schedule and line bidding over the existing P. Once you are a CA you remain a CA.... To answer BoilerUP's comment about displacements.... We almost did have a displacement back in October 05 when we lost the 15 a/c. but with attrition and staffing shortages it proved unnecessary... So in theroy as long as the fleet size remains constant or grows no displacements are not required and most likely will not occur......
