posible, absolutely. But hard to guess what happens until the numbers in each in every fleet is published. If enough MD11 FOs getting excessed go to B757 Captain then More junior captains get bumped. The former 75 captains then decide to be 76 FO then bottom 76 FOs go wherever they have seniority. So most junior at risk of being only able to hold 75 FO.
having previously awarded or actually trained from previous awards is irrelevant. This is what I understand it to be.
(Note: Not at all what I want to happen!)
