Food for thought: My understanding is that this wasn't a systemwide reset, just a shuffle. It really only effects the BIL pilots, or anyone who is displaced. To anyone else, its nothing more than a pref bid... If an FO was awarded CA on the staffing bid, it's a placeholder, but aren't upgrades (supposed to be) awarded based on seniority? So if enough vacancies are made (attrition/new flying) to create upgrade classes, such classes would be awarded based on seniority from the top down, and those candidates would then bid for open vacancies/base through a pref bid (regardless of SSB award). My point- this staffing bid is useless.
