I just listened to the Alaska podcast to get some insight into this bid and it was very insightful. Seems like a lot of things would have to happen for somebody to get displaced from their position if they aren’t LAX or SFO based. It’s not like a Senior SEA FO can just decide they want SEA captain and can bump the Junior SEA captain out of his seat. More Senior LAX and SFO pilots could displace a junior captain. Sh*! Flows down hill, but I don’t think it’s a flash flood in this case.
Then again, I’m just an observer from 3k miles away.
