My point was it really is easier to upgrade than transition, ie more opportunities.

True statement, but if he/she is being displaced, they have their choice where to go based on what their seniority can hold. No sence in down bidding unless you are trying to stay in a certain domicile. I speak from experience. I downbid at one point to SDF just to get back to MIA. And who would have thunk.....I love SDF and plan on staying there.

thanks, that is how I read the changes also. Seniority plays a larger role today then in the past but it is still somewhat limited as I understand

Absoulutely. I think a lot of ANC people are going to realize just what that means when they try to come back to the lower 48 as well

No, not at all close. I just don't like seeing inacurate information being spread about.

No. I don't think he is. He didn't look that old when I met him.
