I get displacement and base reductions happen. The didn’t communicate DEN’s drawdown. It was a ATL drawdown message and DEN has had way more displacements. Literally 6 mos prior BoJo and the rest of the bigwigs were in DEN at a “Rock the Rockies” rally saying they wanted to be #1 ahead of UAL….they got a funny way of showing it. So yeah, that makes me mad. I can vent here…but I don’t talk shop at work unless the other guy brings it up and asks my opinion. If I end up commuting, so be it…I’ll burn sick time down to avoid commutes and pick up in base until I’m back to driving to work. LAS CPO told one of my FO’s sick calls there were through the roof…wonder why since that’s the preferred displacement base for guys leaving DEN.

Alright, man. I hear ya. I said what I had to say. I’ve got nothing else for you. I hope the displacements end soon.

Instead of blaming everyone else (like the CA with multiple ex wives), take control of your destiny. Downgrade, take the pressure off, stay in base, and go have some fun!

That’s a hefty pay cut. VA, training and sick all pay at FO rates. Easier to sick call when the schedule doesn’t work than downgrade for 6 mos. I’ll re-evaluate if a commute is looming.

gotta think of what the 6 month future looks like as well. That's a big hamstring if the situation improves quickly like it's looking it might.

If you get displaced from DEN CA to DEN FO, you are not seat locked for 6 months and will retain DRR…

If he doesn’t want to leave Denver he could have Denver FO below his Denver CA bid. If he got displaced from Denver CA it would be to Denver FO and he would not incur a 6 month seat lock for bidding back to FO…

you forget there are like 100 FO displaced from DEN. No one is getting into DEN for a while.

If he’s a Captain in Denver and had Denver FO under his Denver Captain bid, he would displace a Denver FO if he got displaced from Denver Captain…
