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.
