My take on the company not displacing the FOs is that they can’t flow unless they upgrade to CA and by simply waiting it out they can force the guys to upgrade without displacements. Also, this bid is pretty heavy on Miami 145 and 175 upgrades. DFW 175 will get bid up as well as MIA.
It all depends on how people bid. If a majority of the bids aren’t preferences then I could be wrong but we are pilots and it’s usually a me first attitude especially in position bidding. No one will or should fault a pilot for his preference bids.
