Refuted what? Breaking news: You proved your ignorance even further by quoting your vacancy bid section and thinking it's the same thing as a displacement. You think the two work exactly the same? You think the rules for both are the same?

You would, because you are clueless. Don't worry, you will learn soon enough how it all works. People who have been through displacements at other airlines have tried over and over to get through to you but you are just clueless. That is the PSA motto.

Oh, and you think reduction in flying is something distant from PSA? Ha! You are hopeless, but here we go again: Just last year PSA was reducing block hours. Back then PSA was small enough that it didn't cause any displacements...but a similar reduction in block hours today would be a different story. Learn from history. Ask pilots who were at TSA and Gojets between 2005-2008 time frame how it works. Ask them how many Captains got bumped back to the Right Seat during that time frame...and they weren't upgrading FO's out of seniority order the way PSA is doing....you have a storm brewing and are just too blind/ignorant to notice. Hopefully prospective newhires will listen to those of us who have been in this industry for over a decade and not make the mistake you did.
