My thought is, they may boost a bonus or work an improved contract rather than displace anyone. That is super costly and disruptive to their narrative in the publics eye, although this is Envoy so....
I do agree however, that we are going to have a huge surplus of 175 FO seats open that will need filled. Maybe there is some truth to the class every week rumor on it.
When the CRJ leave a displacement has to happen. No away around it. It has to happen. There's no way to get around it. The union and company cant agree on anything that would change the fact that CRJ pilots will get displaced. They will be able to hold what they can per their seniority. The only question is how will the company issue the accompanying vacancy.
It happened when the Saab, ATR left and it happens when a base closes. It's going to happen.
The Company could possibly offer more money to displaced pilots to those that bid to stay in the same equipment to cut down on training cycles.
