The structure of this displacement bid is different than the old "Minus 1, Bump and Flush" bids of yesteryear. Was anyone previously blocked from bidding another seat unless they were on a seat lock from a previous lateral bid?

Can ALL MEM 757 Capts or FOs bid to a 767 vacancy in this bid?

Can ALL MEM 757 FO bid to MEM 757 Capt?

Practice bid already showing that more junior pilots from displaced aircraft/domiciles are being awarded 767 & 757 slots, over more senior pilots. I'm not talking about bumping anyone from their current seat. I'm talking about filling new vacancies in growing fleets or undermanned seats, out of seniority order.

Previously, the tooth paste was pushed backwards via seniority. Now, it's not so clean cut. The holes are being filled differently. The company wants to fill seats at minimum training cost, regardless of seniority. We've given them more power and flexibility to do so. These are the hidden efficiencies they smartly bargain for, which we often ignore at our own peril.

In Unity (for everyone),
