Im not necessarily referring to myself. I know of several very senior FOs that normally sit towards the top of the list and do lots of premium and make more than some captains. Now that premium and make up has dried up, they have lost lots of income, and thus they have decided it’s time to upgrade. But they didn’t get the upgrade because a bunch of junior displacements took the slots, despite the fact they are far senior.
My point is that they should have run preferences first, then run displacements. Doing it that way would respect seniority.

BS. No fault of those that had their equipment kicked out of base. They shouldn’t have to commute. That should go above a preference. Anything else, yes, seniority is everything.

When do you think the next bid will be? Is there a contractual requirement for frequency of vacancy bids?

No one knows when the next bid will happen.
Vacancy bids are required 3x a year. I think the company has met that obligation with this latest bid.
