Or would they leave the spots open and just fill them via new hire classes? I’m on the 145 and wouldn’t mind getting the 175 in ORD but just unclear on what they do if they can’t fill all the spots.
First- The union needs to put out information on this soon. This isn't a "displacement " but essentially it is.
Second seat locked FOs can't proffer to displace. If you are on probation you are still seat locked and can't proffer to displace.
Third what ever happens won't matter to junior FOs. Only CAs/senior FOs.
