However, you still can't proffer to displace if you are currently seat locked.
Still wrong. On the *3 list it will show your bid pref's (3P's)... these are subject to seat lock
under them is the Displacement preferences (3D's)
junior people should have listed just about everything on this list in order of their preference.... someplace on that list should have been your current status.
The 3P's are used for the vacancy bid, and the seat lock would/did apply. Then when they ran the displacement bid you would get whatever you could hold in order of your list preference.... anything ABOVE or at your current status was a proffer to displace (no company paid moving expenses) and anythign below was an involuntary displacement, with moving expenses... once they ran the displacement bid, there were no seat locks.
That being said. People had to be cautious what they bid into, if they displaced from EMB to CRJ they would then become seat locked in the CRJ until they upgraded or until another displacement bid was run.
