So long as there are displacements of all eligible FOs, it does not increase your odds. Read the contract section about simultaneous vacancy and displacement. When it tells you to reference the section on displacements, and you actually go back and read, you will understand that a displaced pilot will be able to displace to what he can hold regardless of preference bids below him/her.
