If your right, then I guess I could use my MD from the SLC 320 to take up a vacancy on the 777 in ATL if that is the case? Just doesn't seem right to me that it would work that way, but alot of stuff doesn't make sense to me.
When a new category is staffed they fill it with the AE. They then run the displacements. If they can hold it they get a slot and the bottom AE is bumped. It continues from there. If you are in a category that is going away you want blank AE and VD pages. Put what you want in the MD page only. I learned this lesson the hard way.
