Correct me if I'm wrong, but you won't be displaced if your position doesn't go away? For example, 75/76 and other wb folks (at the bottom) are more likely to get displaced because after the "high season" the flying is reduced and therefore the position numbers are reduced. At AA if the total position numbers are retained in a bid status, someone cannot come in from the top and bump you out - they can only attain a know vacancy. This is why guys are upset at the company by offering new hires these positions - as they are already highly desired. They are rightfully upset IMHO as this needs to be fixed-folks on property should get first dibs before they are offered to a new hire who most likely will not get displaced on these particular fleets.
