Keep in mind that when you VD, you use that person's seniority that you saved from getting displaced for displacing into a category, not yours.

What base and are you seat locked?

If seat locked: You will be able to bid a Capt. position or a new category regardless of lock. Or, You can take a VD to any position the person you are protecting can hold UNLESS it is an OPEN position in which case you will be awarded it based on your own seniority.(ie. new category or vacancy)

If not seat locked: You will be awarded your AE first before your VD.

BTW O'Reilly had a good analysis this morning on F&F. He said, this is what you get when you don't pay your employees enough (DAL) and then take away whatever power they might have to make a good decision at their level.

Agreed-I've seen multiple friends on FB declare how they are not only boycotting delta, but also making it a point to tell everyone they can to do the same. Of course what comes up is the American Airlines commercial in the terminal thanking soldiers coming home. "See, American gets it." Unreal.

Funny story, last trip had an long layover in DTW, so I asked the captain about contractually having to be put downtown on a long layover, and he was response was basically you don't want anything to do with downtown DTW.

I do not see anything in the contract allowing you to bid a new category when you have a seat lock. You can only swap bases in the same category or bid a capt position.

He is pretty much right. Other than the Casino's there is nothing to do in downtown unless there is a sporting event going on. The Greektown (area near the ballpark) area is the best area of downtown Detroit. It is fairly safe, but still plenty of grifters (like any big city) and it is loud on Friday and Saturday night if there is a ballgame.

It's still a good idea to have bids in, because the company can waive the freezes any time it wants to, and doesn't have to let you know that its going to do it.
