But it's not that simple because if a senior fo on the crj wants to go to the 145 in NY that means now a Jr fo on the 145 gets displaced to maybe ord or the 175. Its a chain reaction until the most Jr few are left with what ever position is leftover. The company doesn't like to do it since it causes many training cycles and Jr people don't like it because they get shuffled around.
