It’s not clear to me why more people simply don’t just leave their 3P blank and only fill in their 3D.
The majority of those that fill in a 3P are scared/nervous they won’t get that position in part because they don’t understand how displacement bidding works.
A 2 yr seat lock when you factor in 3rd year captain pay is ~$9K and does not impact your FLOW.

I had the same conversation with multiple people who “really wanted to ensure they held the 175.” If you can hold it via preference then you’ll hold it on the displacement. Now with a 2100 number holding it, Street captains can now join the elite ranks of heavy drivers within a few months.
lol @ “elite ranks”......

There were those that could have gotten what the wanted had they preferenced but did not because they only had displacements listed.
And if you aren’t changing equipment, you aren’t eligible for the 5 hour override. If NOBODY preferenced it would work. As much as I, too, don’t think anyone should preference, all those guys in the 175 who HAVE to stay in the the 175 are doing the right thing (for them) with a preference.

Your point is valid however, that’s okay too right. Being rock bottom, living in base, flying the airplane he/she desires and on the seniority list is not the worst that can happen.

You are right. Very few understand the process. Because preferencing DOES increase your odds of getting what you want.

Where does it say this specifically? Also, it appears that the wording for the override in the LOA states "captains" displacing are eligible, not FO's. Is there a serperate LOA I am missing?
