If there are no openings in a category that Pilot seniority # 1 bid does that mean he can't hold it?
I would say it means he couldn't get it on that specific AE.

Ok, so after how many sequential AEs would you feel comfortable saying a guy can't hold something?
I could be on an island, but if I can't effect a change from my current category to the one I want, I don't think I can hold it. I can say I'm senior to the plug, but that doesn't do me any good (yet). That's particularly true when unlike other carriers, we don't have a regular and reliable timeline to shuffle or trade positions.
