MIN-MAX Bulletin
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.
So for example SFO 737 FO with 203 max but now 391 FO’s doesn’t that Indicate that particular BES is over staffed by nearly 200 pilots? Should only make matters worse with SFO 777/787 also showing a lot of pilots now over the Max. Or am I misunderstanding the point of the Max number when it comes to displacements?
