No FO will substantially find their seniority changed after this bid. The pool will remain about the same size with ExTO returns.
For those displaced, they will still be on weekend reserve, just at a less convenient domicile.
I actually declined in relative seniority due to VSP and ExTO. Not complaining, I’m senior enough that 1221 and base shrinking didn’t affect me, and junior enough that I don’t have to worry about upgrade. But just because you see upgrades don’t assume that automatically everyone is better off. While the medium to long term prospects look good, the next couple months will be rough.
