So it’s safe to say DFW will be more senior than MCO?

Not necessarily. DEN displacees seem to like going to MCO.

When has Denver not shrunk to open a base?

Definitely PHL and LAS, probably MCO as well.

You don't think there will be enough TX dwellers to fill DFW? Seems like there are a lot of commuters from the area.

No one said anything about involuntary displacement. Some pilots based in DEN likely will bid DFW, but the poster spreading the DEN shrinkage rumor was just saying the empty spaces they leave behind may not be filled, leaving it a smaller base after the bid.

You're right. Poor assumption on my part.

When I think of a base shrinking I think of it in terms of a reduction in the number of positions, usually meaning there will be displacements. Not too many want to bid out of DEN unless they’re just sick of reserve and looking for a line. Certainly on the Captain side, with the number of DEN dwellers that got kicked out in past reductions, I cannot imagine a world where there would be unfilled positions in DEN.

Yes, you’re correct. I described a displacement vacancy without calling it such. The company can run a displacement bid and still see no one pushed out of a base involuntarily.
