Seniority is the name of the game and if say you were displaced out of DFW 175 to something you could hold, say ORD 145, what would you do ?

I suppose you could then turn your nose up and quit, but wouldn't that have just been a waste of months or years ? It almost sounds like there are a group of journeyman E-175 pinch-hitters floating around the industry shopping for E-175 seats wherever. If that's all that matters, those are sone screwed up priorities that will come back to haunt you later, if you ask me.
