8-F-9 If a Pilot's vacancy has not been cancelled or activated by the end of ninety-two (92) days (including the effective date specified in the bulletin advertising the vacancy) or three (3) Bid Periods after the vacancy bulletin effective date, whichever is earlier,
the Pilot may at his option exercise displacement rights, bid any vacancy, or continue to be pay rate protected in accordance with Section 8.
If I read this right, if someone is in training to fill an FO vacancy, and if he gets delayed long enough, then he can bump to any position his seniority will hold, including captain, even though there was not captain vacancy, thus creating a second training event for whoever gets bumped, etc. Outta control.
