Rf 100 pdis
What is the purpose of having to enter the RF 100 PDIS?
If you have a displacement preference and the company WILL displace you anyway, what is the point? Will they NOT look at it the displacement preference if you don’t and just get stuck somewhere with a NEB?
Alll of the correspondence from the union on this still sounds as if a qualified FO still has a choice NOT to upgrade. That hasn’t been the case since last October when a few VERY senior FOs slipped by, but they were all tagged in January. If there were not more slots than pilots, there wouldn’t be anything left for a standing vacancy.
Just sounds like double talk and the Union isn’t fully up on what is actually happening.

I'm not really into bashing the union on this but the last time we had a vacancy and displacement they sent their information email out extremely late. I think it was sent a day or two before then I'd closed. They need to be a little more detailed on their explanation of bidding. Their whole packet is confusing.
It's really simple to explain.
1. Always have every displacement position filled out in order from best to worst. ALL THE TIME.
2. Only put a preference if you absolutely want a position and you know you aren't going to get displaced to it.
3. Proffer to displace when you want to displace but don't know for sure you will be displaced.

Ultimately, I would prefer to stay 175 and am looking at the best way to make that a real possibility.

I understand about the training freeze and have considered the money that comes with it. But I have also considered taking the SV for the money, going to lga for 3 months and transferring out before the perks end.
