Preference what you actually want otherwise someone junior to you might get it if you only proffer to displace.
You will be kicking yourself if you could have held DFW or wherever else you wanted, but instead we’re displaced to LGA, meanwhile someone way junior to you gets DFW because they preferenced DFW but you only proffered to displace.
If you’re super junior and likely to get LGA anyway, then just proffer to displace and don’t be away locked.
I would take a seat lock in a different type rather than commute and risk 6-12 months or more in a commuting situation if i could have lived in base. But that’s just me, everyone has different priorities.
That's not how it works. VERY BAD ADVICE!!!
This is how people think it works but get upset when they end up with a displacement. Displacements trump preference. The senior pilot IF displaced will hold DFW and then kick out the junior guy who preference bid DFW.
Example. When NY closed, no pilots needed any preferences because they knew they were getting displaced. All they had were displacement bids in because they knew they were getting displaced.
A DEC entry CA that has finished IOE will need to preference to a new position.
A pilot who is awarded a CA position but has not finished IOE can preference to an FO position and force a new displacement to a CA position.
