From what limited understanding I have gained in researching such things, proffer to displace if you think there is a chance that they will not displace everyone with enough hours. If you think that everyone will displace then proffering to displace will only have you lose out on paid move and send you to training sooner. If all FOs with time are moving to the left seat regardless then a proffer will not do anything with regards to what equipment because a displacement will trump those once it comes to that. Someone correct me if I’m wrong. I left an email with a union rep to verify this and they said they would call me but never did.
Interesting...

And according to the contract interpretation, to be able to send DECs directly to a captain seat there has to be a standing vacancy, meaning more vacancies then eligible pilots on property.
And I’m pretty sure the company knows within a few pilots how many have the time and how vacancies to post.

It’s possible. The classes lately have been very heavy on the 175 because it’s growing. With less new hires on the 145 the current f/o list should continue to be right sized with captain vacancies and more flying opportunities should exist. There isn’t a need to have 37 f/o’s on reserve everyday, so hopefully it will improve a bit. I do however expect that we will see a few classes that have more 145 slots than heavy slots in order to keenthe backfill.

I would be willing to bet there is NO ONE who has the time when the bid closes escapes. The company still thinks they need 125 OTS DECs. They are not going to allow pilots to skip out when they are paying $45K to hire someone qualified.

I wonder how much it cost to send a 175 FO to 145 CA then to 175 CA. Those sim slots aren't cheap and time away from the line has to be added in. I have seen about six on the reserve list on the 145 CA DFW go back to training very recently. A forced upgrade plus a voluntary seat lock cost north of 8k.
