Correct me if I'm wrong am wrong, but there are no CA vacancies in this bid so if somebody voluntarily downgrades, that does not create a vacancy that an FO can bid into, and be awarded.

I can't imagine this scenario creating that but weirder things have happened.

If there were to be a junior captain in seattle that wanted a better schedule and to get off of reserve, why not bid down to SEA FO. Then it gets filled by someone who had that on their bid list and can hold it.

there would have to be a SEA FO vacancy for that Captain to bid to.

Probably meant to say SFO FO Vacancy..

I think that's the case. I don't think there's a mechanism for the company to just not fill a published CA position because somebody vacated it.

But said CA would have to bid SFO FO, no other FO vacancies in the system, I think this bid is one for one?
