I could be wrong.
I don't know for sure, but since this was included in the NPDM discussions, I am guessing that ALPA was in support of this sequence. While it doesn't make sense in some aspects, it does in others, and it certainly results in the most pilots getting the contractual benefits of being "bumped" even if they are going to a new position they were planning on bidding for.
Still going to be a huge mess for the coming months in ORD. I have been begging for movement here, so I guess this is one of those "careful what you wish for" situations!!!!
