This is best described as a flush bump/displacement based on how it was designed.
Voluntary displacement is an option just limited by the size and parameters that are set by the company.

min/max has no bearing on a displacement, other than for percentage bids. A lot of bad info going out on this forum and FB forum. Please read the ALPA email.
The Vacancy MIN-MAX bulletin accompanies the Surplus Letter. It really doesn't have any applicability to a displacement except to indicate from which Categories the Company is displacing and to establish the number of pilots used when evaluating percentage bids. All other numbers are advisory only. As stated above, you can bump into any Category your seniority can hold.
The MAX number for the Category has no effect on where you can bump.
