You are confusing a 3P proffer with a RF100 PDIS with the 3D proffer.
The 3D is for Displacement. Anything at or above your current status is a proffer to displace on the displacement bid.... and anything after your current status is an involuntary displacement (which the company then has to pay your moving expenses for up to 10,000 pounds of household furnishings and stuff.)
There is no seat lock on a displacement bid. So, as an DFE you could enter a 3P for OFC and not get it because you are seat locked for a 3P bid preference... then in your 3D list enter OFC first followed by DFE. The OFC is at or above the DFE so it would be a proffer to displace on the displacement bid, and would not have a seat lock.
Do any of you people read the bulletins on Jetnet or listen to the teleconferences??
The Displacement Summary is still on the Eagle pilots page of jetnet. Go read it, and pay extra attention to the examples at the end. There is no seatlock if you proffer to displace on the displacement bid preference; there is a seat lock on regular bid preferences.
I must correct my earlier statement that proffering will create a seat lock. Mason32 is correct.
However, you still can't proffer to displace if you are currently seat locked.
