3P is pretty straight forward you bid what you can hold that is OPEN. Everyone gets this and understands it.
3D/Displacement/15 G 4 - all pilots that fall under this status can bid what they can hold.
Proffer to displace- You can ONLY proffer to displace to an open vacancy or position. (This is news to me.)
I think this is where the disconnect comes from. I hope this clears a few things up.
I did know that and I sometimes have gotten frustrated talking about proffer to displace and displacement, both here and elsewhere, because it seemed everyone was so confused about it they couldn't even speak in the same language.
And yeah, you explained it better but I had a post a page or two back that explained just how someone could end up in the wrong airframe by misunderstanding how the bids work.
