They are not seat locked as fo's...but in order for them to get a left seat, there would have to be an original or recurring vacancy. They cannot just bid and be awarded any seat they desire. There are senior fo's and other capts that are trying to either get a left seat or move domiciles that their seniority could hold, but they can't get there without a vacancy. As long as the vacancies are only in anc, backseaters (over sixty guys) who are not displaced can only bid anc. I think that is good for those of us trying to hold onto our seats back in sdf.
