Displaced FO / Seat Lock / Jet Change
This may have been addressed and I missed it, but while an FO displaced to Captain is not subject to a seat lock, will they be subjected to 'metering' on equipment changes? I'm under the impression that vacancy slots are limited for existing captains changing equipment. So say one gets displaced to the CRJ and finishes training, then wants to move to the 175 in a later vacancy bid, is that going to be a problem?

Do the guys who are already captain qualified in the airframe such as DCL to OCL or NCE to MCE count against the 30% ? What about the guys who were reshuffled out of the OCL to other airframes/locations?

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but only 30% of each CA vacancy can be filled by captains changing equipment. The balance is upgrades. My question - and I think the answer provided by Jersdawg, is that once you are a qualified captain, your ability to transfer to another jet is limited by that 30%.

I had a class date for OCL from DFL set. Then got displaced to OCC. When the next bid runs, might I be able to get back to OCL? I hadn’t heard of this 30% thing. Most junior 175 CA is 25 sen numbers above me. I’m sure it’s impossible to say for sure. New to all this. Thanks.

Before relying on this information clear it with the union. Also this ONLY works if you haven't finished your FED ride.

The contract says up to 30% of captain training slots can be taken by those requiring “R3 or equivalent training”. I couldn’t find that definition anywhere though.
Would a pilot who holds a 175 type as an FO and then has been displaced to another type as captain require R3 training to go back to the 175 as captain?
