I would think there are displacement rights. If displaced, you can bid into a position that doesn’t have a vacancy, and kicks the bottom guy out in the process.
correct but with SFO being reduced and it also being the most junior base displayed 30 captains and open up 30 San Diego captain slots 30 FO senior to those 30 captains they would get the upgrade awarded to them, and then those captains are no longer senior enough to hold any Captain seat in any other base or seat. They would all then be downgraded to whatever they can hold, which would be any of the FO seat they desire.
