Normal Vacancy Scenario
FO has a proffer in place for OCL and is senior to you. You will not get displaced out of that base just because they come in, since in this case they are entering with a vacancy bid, essentially meaning there are open slots.
So while you can get displaced out of a base due to the first scenario, it is this exact scenario that will allow you to get back to it. If you get displaced out, you are not locked, so you can proffer back to it once your seniority can hold it.
It would suck yes, but you will be able to get back.
Spot on but you are lacking the “proffer to displace” scenario.
If a pilot is truly displaced then a proffer to displace acts essentially as a displacement with some restrictions.
If the proffer to displace is from a FO forced upgrade then it is essentially the same as a preference bid. (Extra displacement protections apply.)
