Here's where it may come down to interpretation. What does unavailable mean?

Is unavailable when the most junior displaced 200 pilot can move down to G.a.(2) because he is the most junior pilot and therefore it is unavailable or:

Is unavailable created for a situation where ASA completely gets rid of an aircraft category therefore making it "unavailable"

Oh, well if it was on FI, then it MUST be true!

Unavailable means the position no longer exists, such as when the ATRs were retired.

So if the contract is interpreted correctly, a displaced 200 FO cannot displace a 700 FO in our current situation. Only a displaced 200 Capt can displace a 700 FO.

Correct. Then the FO from the -700 who was displaced by the Captain downgrading could displace the bottom -700 to the -200. Or if the downgrading CA goes to the -200, the -200 FO he bumps could displace to the -700, and displace a -700 FO to the -200. When you are displaced, you get your highest PREFERENCE your seniority can hold. Confused more now?

That is the only thing that is certain.
