The Delta contract allows a pilot who is displaced to go anywhere in the system where there is a pilot junior to him in that category. There is no requirement for there to be a opening. If they had that rule what would happen when a airline was shrinking and a senior captain got displaced. He would have no position to go to. Displacements occur most often when a airline is shrinking and the nature of that is that there are no openings. Here is the exact wording from the contract.
13. A pilot who holds an MD may displace a pilot in any category who is junior to him and
who was in such category on the award date of his MD.
MD=mandatory displacement
