There have been typically 5-10 DECs per class, so relative seniority builds. They seem to be running a displacement bid every 3 months to force qualified FO's to the left seat. Many don't want to because they have seniority in the right seat, weekends and holidays off, and they aren't trying to build a resume because they will flow in the time it would take them to build 1000 hrs of PIC.
