If you are an LAX717 pilot and you haven't done something stupid like put an AE preference in, when the "system" looks at your sheet and sees you want LAX320B and it sees there is still at least one of the 100 LAX320B vacancies unfilled, that spot is yours regardless because, after the "system" plugs you into that spot, it moves to the next junior pilot who, logically, cannot MD a more senior MD award. Fun stuff, huh?

Just do this:
1) Bid want you want, want what you bid.
2) Everyone except the #1 pilot should have an MD in.
2) If you have a VD bid in, it should be identical to your AE bid.
4) Wait for the results.

You asked if the lax 717 displacements were equal to or less than the lax 320 vacancies. I said “less”
There are 95 lax 717 currently and 100 LAX 320 vacancies.
Why is this so difficult?
