Same as when they take a whole month of July by block bidding and then horse trade it to whoever they want. When someone with 25% seniority can’t hold a summer week…the system is broke (which is why we voted repeatedly to change it).


The company negotiators love it when they successfully dupe someone like you into blaming fellow pilots instead of the true source of the pain…… the company.

It would be far more effective to make displacements so expensive in the first place ( dh lines to TDY, hotels for the duration of displacement plus a stipend, etc ) that the company doesn’t do them.

I know being displaced sucks….. but your fellow pilots nor the new contract created this pain.

The company did.

You are feeling the pain because the company stopped hiring, shuffled people all over like deck chairs on the titanic, AND THEN set the vacancies to zero.

If the vacancy had a positive number, your DRR would win over other pilots trying to bid into your home domicile no matter how senior they are.

You actually would get 100% of those positive numbers thanks to the improvements in this contract, the old one was only 50%.

Your fellow pilots had ZERO to do with causing this pain and seeking to restrict them is an error.
