So I just read the message on how they will conduct this bid. Looks like they will run preferences first, then displacements. However, if you get initially awarded a preference, you could get bumped right back out of it by a displacement, even if the displacing pilot is junior! I totally disagree with that. They should run the preferences, then run the displacements, and that’s it. If there’s a position open that a senior pilot could hold, they should be allowed to get it before a junior pilot. For example, say number 1 FO in a bid is senior enough to hold a senior CA position. He decides to take it. Let’s say there are 5 vacancies. If there are 5 displacements junior to him wanting those spots, they will get it and he won’t. He should get the vacancy and the bottom pilot should be flushed by the overage. The flushing should come from the bottom, not from senior pilots. Any idea what the contract says in reference to this?
