The majority of those that fill in a 3P are scared/nervous they won’t get that position in part because they don’t understand how displacement bidding works.
A 2 yr seat lock when you factor in 3rd year captain pay is ~$9K and does not impact your FLOW.

You are right. Very few understand the process. Because preferencing DOES increase your odds of getting what you want.
There were those that could have gotten what the wanted had they preferenced but did not because they only had displacements listed.
And if you aren’t changing equipment, you aren’t eligible for the 5 hour override. If NOBODY preferenced it would work. As much as I, too, don’t think anyone should preference, all those guys in the 175 who HAVE to stay in the the 175 are doing the right thing (for them) with a preference.
