It's not. Displacement are already covered by the Agreement.
This is just political fodder so that some people can claim that its discrimination against LCAL pilots to not give them special consideration, despite 14 categories being displaced affecting predominantly LUAL pilots in the last 3 years with no special consideration. This one where there are only 2 categories affecting LCAL pilots they will claim its bias against LCAL pilots for not giving them special consideration.
Then they will point to the MOU for base closures as the proof, but its not because its a completely different type of event.
