I have read that document multiple times, and just re-read it as I agree, I should have started there. This is not my first vacancy...rather the first one I am not trying to get awarded anything. I know what my 3D will look like, just trying to make sure I am not missing anything by leaving my 3P blank.

Thanks!

You think with a quoted "27%" rise in block hours for MIA and I believe quite a few CAs flowing this year there will be no vacancies?

If you are happy with your status, leave the 3P blank, this way they won't place you in something thinking that's what you want. However, I would strongly support for those people ready to upgrade to not use the proffer to upgrade (3P) as you are leaving money on the table. If you only have your 3D filled out, in the order you would want to upgrade, you are forcing them to upgrade you into something and thus upon getting the status you want, can seat lock yourself for an additional 5 hours a month pay override. If you get forced to upgrade and dont like the status, this also protects you because being displaced doesnt incur a seat lock unless you do it to yourself, as stated above.

As somebody that will be upgrading on this bid, I completely agree. That's my plan.

On another note, is it likely there will be backfills? I am considering displacing to the CRJ for the money.

Likely, I don't know, perhaps yes? Hard to say really as I know the last bid had them but I kinda feel like the last one was intentional to allow guys/gals to get back to DFW. Due to this, it had openings for backfills.
