Not true. The majority of guys on the 175 are the ones that are going to upgrade next. The vast majority of FO's that got the 175 Award are people who were awarded CA then displaced in the same bid (about 100 FO's were) on this last vacancy/displacement bid. That is how they were all able to go jet to jet as an FO.. And that is why the 175 is senior right now. You would know this if you worked here.
After they upgrade it will go junior because the other FO's can't bid it.
