The ability for the company to have a displacement EVERY bid is the single biggest failure of the union. It still blows my mind they decided to go this route.
I agree with you that the prior 121 people are hosed. But, the Jan. displacement bid had far more FOs, with some seniority, displaced to CA. Those people are stuck in their displaced positions unless they can either preference bid out of it, or be displaced by a more senior pilot. I don't see the second option happening all that much.
