Those that are pushed out of the bottom of their list will now bump someone junior to them in whatever airplane, etc. I'm not going to get into the whole "there are only so many recurring vacancies created from an original vacancy" etc. part of the contract. Roberto has the knowledge of that part of the contract.
RVR,
Correct me if I'm wrong but the math will go something like this: Add the number of guys who bid out of the back of the Ocho combined with differences between vacancies and displacements and you have the amount of guys who will eventually get displaced out of ANC to the panel.
Example 1: 10 more vacancies than displacements, plus 25 back seaters move forward will result in 15 guys eventually getting displaced from ANC to join the disgruntled DC8 F/Es.
Example 2: 10 less vacancies than displacements, plus 25 back seaters move forward will result in 35 guys eventually getting displaced from ANC to join the disgruntled DC8 F/Es.
RVR & Roberto how is that math?
