That's how MOU 14 worked.
No it's not. If that's how it worked, it would have applied that way to the DEN and ORD A320 and 76T bumps. But the LUAL pilots understood that the MOU was implemented to cover a unique situation; an unprecedented base closure and reopen. NOT "routine" bumps.
As I mentioned above, 24 month grandfather rights will ENCOURAGE more bumps in the future if passed. But I'm guessing C171 doesn't care as long as the bumps aren't in their domicile. Ladder up!
