One of the reasons why the displacements are happening is because of the single fleet type. These displacements wouldn't exist to the extent if their was another fleet type on the property. The other airlines don't play like that because it pretty cost prohibitive to move planes around at network planning's whim every month. I'm not saying to give up scope or turn away from it but at the same time don't shoot yourself in the foot either. Another fleet type pretty much neutralizes the company AND we don't have to give anything for it. Many of us come from other airlines that had multiple fleet types and never had these kind movements outside of closing a domicile and/or retiring a fleet type. The company would love for the pilot group to demand new displacement language knowing damn well they'll never use it to the degree they have.
