That's how I read 22E1. ??
That's correct. There has to be someone junior to you or a vacancy to MD. If after the MDs are run and no vacancies exist the senior pilot cannot bid into that category. Ive met some Captains that MD into a dying category for the purpose of someday having an MD into a better position within the system. I think the company chooses which order they run the AEs, so I have been told.
