I think we can all agree we won't see displacements like last the last bid.
However, I think we might be a bit shocked to see how many pilots of varying seniority will get displaced especially if "sport" bidding takes place.
I wonder how many pilots are bidding Reserve to delay upgrading. How many RTP guys took more delays in getting through training and building time due to training. Some pilots transferred to DFW sooner than other and LGA FOs could have been building time faster holding a better line than a reserve pilot in DFW.
If I was a betting man I'd bet your explanation will be right. I just wouldn't bet too much on it because it so difficult to predict how people bid.
