This is going to be an interesting scenario to watch. Prior to the contract, pilots would be base protected. With the new contract, I think they could be displaced based on pure seniority.

But how will they handle a larger base such as PIE or SFB? If there would be displacements, would they only displace a few at a time in a large base aircraft by aircraft or displace all affected pilots at once? The problem with doing a few at a time in a large base would mean displaced pilots could find themselves displaced again and again over and over meaning unhappy people not to mention repeated moving fees etc.. for the same pilot. I suspect some kind of LOA for relief on this to domicile protect affected pilots.
