Unfortunately I was there, and I can tell you the screw job WAS monumental. Homer and Co. were truly representative of the ENTIRE Simmons pilot group. The bad news was that they outnumbered all of the rest of us--so they could vote in whatever--and they did.
And the farm animals around there may NEVER walk correctly again.

A displacement bid is when the company eliminates a position either a base closure, fleet type shrinking or going away entirely. They will try to do things slowly and just stop putting people in the position but at some point they have to force people out to a new position. Assuming the crj goes to psa with additional 175 options coming online. They would displace off the crj to the 175. But it's not that simple because if a senior fo on the crj wants to go to the 145 in NY that means now a Jr fo on the 145 gets displaced to maybe ord or the 175. Its a chain reaction until the most Jr few are left with what ever position is leftover. The company doesn't like to do it since it causes many training cycles and Jr people don't like it because they get shuffled around.

Problem is if you are planning on using your vacation for the wedding, you won't have any to use. You accrue vacation time based off of how many months you worked the year before. If you are starting in December, you will be lucky to get 1 day of vacation for 2017.
There are other things that you could try. Hopefully they work with you to figure something out. Just don't bank on having a vacation to use.

You start class in December, you will start flying the line around March. You will still be bottom half of the reserve list in July, you will have no vacation to bid on, you aren't likely to hold a hard line thus being in reserve. Middle of summer will likely not yield any type of additional days off that you aren't awarded on your reserve line. We have the ability to borrow from the following years vacation and by July you will have a week worth of vacation for 2018, however they are going to be denied due to staffing, specifically since you are likely to be asking for a weekend. I am not trolling you, just telling you like it's going to be.
The best advice I can give you is, plan a flexible weeding that you can schedule the month prior once you have your schedule or reschedule it for 2018 once you have vacation.

To the poster who asked the question about your wedding next summer do not buy into this. Yes you will be bottom line holder at best most likely reserve, but you can bid as much around your wedding and from there the CP office will absolutely work with you on this one. You WILL have off through the use of bidding, trading, PO, PVD, or all the above. If you can't trade or bid around it call the CP office with plenty of advance and they WILL work with you.

Leave a guaranteed job with AA for anywhere else has to be the dumbest move ever.
Please, tell your friend what a mistake he has made.
