that's what happened here at RAH, and the next time there better be an upgrade award based on seniority, not the desires of mgmt.
I don't believe we have an operational necessities clause. If an F/O chooses to be bypassed, that is there choice. The displaced capt has rights to the previous seat as long as it is there first choice on there bid.
