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.
Looking at the list today, all but one of those that were eligible but did not upgrade are either no longer on the list or chose a standing vacancy. These guys must have had no preference and no proffer to displace and were not needed. The vacancy was filled without them. What was leftover for standing vacancy must have been open back fills.
