Well I was just displaced for IOE for the third week in a row.... Since I hold a Monday through Thursday line, it will be hard to get an open four day trip to replace it. Open four day trips starting on a Monday or a Tuesday are rare, go figure....
So this last week I hung out at home with no reassignment.... So far it looks like I'll be doing that again this next week.
I don't know if there's a way to figure out who is bidding for the same line you are but if I could, I would probably avoid bidding with an IOE captain. I actually don't like to sit around for days on end. I wind up wasting too much time on forums....
