Back in '08 I was JFK-756 when a displacement came along. I wanted to displace to IAD-756 for reasons of QOL, but couldn't because the junior man in JFK was not senior to the junior man in IAD so instead I displaced to ORD-737 which was slated to be eliminated. I got the 737 bump on paper, never got trained, then got bumped out of ORD-737 FO and ultimately displaced to IAD-756.


To wit . . . pilot bidding sometimes surprises folks.
