This sounds "fishy" to me. The current SLC 767 pilots are getting MD'd. The company runs the AE and all slots are filled. Now if the SLC pilot that gets MD has the seniority to knock someone out of category he is in. If he does not have seniority to knock anyone out, he never would have been awarded it via the AE
