Now let’s say that 10 people bid the MD-11 captain position. And let’s say that they are Senior to the 10 most junior MD-11 captains on the current list. They would be awarded MD-11 captain and the 10 junior folks on the list would go somewhere else. Hence the term bump and flush....
That’s the way I understood it anyway....if I’m wrong will someone please correct me!
I am confident that you are wrong.
People would be forced out of their crew positions if the max staffing level is less than the current staffing level
In your example, MD Captains would only be awarded slots if they are available due to other MD Capts moving out to other seats.
The good news is, we will not have to wait long to see who is right.
