Therefore, they can expect to be displaced. By listing their choices above their current status they are in effect proffering to displace as outlines in the Jetnet Summary. There is no seat lock. The proffer to displace is simply a method by which a senior pilot may leave their current status to go elswhere prior to a junior pilot being displaced. With few exceptions, people still seat locked, would not be senior enough to anybody to displace them anyway.
Stop reading the litteral verbage, and start applying the language to the realities of the situation. The eventual conclusion you will discover is that there are no seat locks on a simultaneous Vacancy & Displacement Bid.
You are assuming that anyone that is seat locked is on the bottom of their respective list. Not necessarily true. My original post was for FOblondie. She was wondering why she was unable to PROFFER to displace from OFE to DFA with a JAN 08 DOH and 200 people junior to her, many of which were awarded DFA on the bid, myself included. She couldn't proffer to displace to DFA because she is seat locked to the EMB despite there are people junior to her that are holding DFA. That's why she wasn't awarded DFA. That's all I was trying to point out, just answering a fellow Eagle pilot's question.
