I could have bumped to a 767, but went to the Bus, because I saw it would have happened again.

Then, two years later, I was furloughed.

I would guess AS is similar. You can do a series of cascading bumps, and yes, guys can be trained many times. I was going to Training every four months. Very expensive and inefficient, but no other way when you have multiple aircraft types. United had 9 different types at the time.
