The vacancies are filled first. Then the reductions are added in. So if a lot of senior FOs decide to upgrade because they don’t want to wait on the next bid, the 124 reductions reduce 124 JR captains.
Anybody at risk of getting displaced from the left seat is junior enough that they knew about the merger when they got hired. Not like a couple hundred bus pilots came out of nowhere and blind-sided them... this has been coming for seven years And I think the large majority of those at risk of getting bumped were DOH on the SLI anyway.
Bus pilots will not all stay in one base either.
