so, how about some displacement strategy.
Suppose you are in one of the fleets being displaced and you would really like to get bumped, but the junior guys don't have the seniority to go where you want. Well in that case you have to answer Dirty Harry's famous question:
"Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?
volunteer for the bump and go to IAH 737 CA or IAH 737 FO (depending on whether you are coming from DEN 320 CA, ORD 76T CA, or ORD 76T FO, or bump to DEN 320 or 76T FO or ORD 76T FO if you are an IAH 737 CA. The company will have no interest in training you in that seat where they are already overstaffed. Then after the delay you get to bump where your seniority can hold.
Risky? Absolutely, but never underestimate the company's inability to accomplish the training they want, so imagine how delayed people could get that they don't want trained!
