The question gets answered but nobody knows if their answer is correct!
Here is a little tidbit from the TWG notepad 9-18 that might help a little:
A pilot’s bid preference for an AE will not be awarded if the award, together with any VD/MD(s) for the same category, would create a surplus that would cause a displacement in the
category. In other words, a pilots VD or MD bid into a category will supersede a more senior pilot's AE bid to that category.
Moral of that story is if you want to move positions, your VD bids should match your AE bids just in case. And always, always have a MD bid in........again, just in case.
