I won't even get into the whole notion of voluntary displacing off of an aircraft to bump someone else off of another aircraft so they can bump someone else....
What a waste. The bottom line is that their system is just plain dumb.

It really is.
If there is a voluntary displacement awarded it means someone was getting displaced off that equipment either way. It's just a mechanism to allow someone who may be happy going to another piece of equipment to get it w/paid move so another can stay. I have to agree though. I've been here along time and this bid was ridiculous with all the training generated. Last time I saw anything like it was post 911.
