Bump and Flush is NOT how other legacy airlines run things so better get comfortable with it. And yes, I have been bumped and flushed here couple of times. The industry standard language is better for the crew force in my option. Disagreeing with your option means just that. No need to insult me because your feelings are hurt.
I disagree. Legacies absolutely do have bump and flush. Which is why they came to agreements with their pilots for early outs and lower pay to avoid furloughs during covid because the cascading trading events from all the bumping and flushing would have been absolutely insane. FedEx doesn't need to worry about that though because we gave up our bump and flush language to the company for free already.
