Unless all those guys bid for mke instead of ord suddenly it doesn’t make sense.
If you are getting displaced take a look at other seniority numbers and inquire with your union reps.
it’s a 2 pronged displacement, it has most of the captains going to line holder FO for July while not removing any of the current line holding FO slots, then in August once the training is done they reduce the FO lines drastically. There are a few of the ORD FOs that are having to go to MKE to hold a line due to the downgrading captains that are mke RC becoming ORD FO which is bumping some of the junior ORD FOs to MKE. It seems odd but it’s due to most of the downgrades that couldn’t hold ord as captain being able to hold it as FO. Come August the Guys that moved to MKE for July FO will be back in ORD as RF
