How do people who were displaced due to a BES closing work? For example, a DCA 777 FO was displaced when they closed the base and then bid 320 FO. If that person were to bid 320 captain in this vacancy, would they be awarded the bid after displaced 320 captains who are junior to them, or are they treated differently since they can’t bid back to their old seat due to a base closure?

Yes... awarded in seniority order after grandfathered awards.

That’s what I thought. I just won a beer. Thanks

yea it’s a hard min. They have to backfill to that number. So if you see a min Max that are the same it means that they cannot lose anyone. There is no requirement to stop filling at the min and if they fill past the min that’s ok.

I don't see any A350 awards anywhere.

If you don’t know who will be flying the 350 then it’s not you.....

They’ll come after the 75 new 737-700’s but before the 50 seaters get retired. You heard it on APC. It has to be true.

The 350 is scheduled to arrive after the return of the DC-8, and probably just as likely

Delta guy here....so are you getting all butts back in a seat? Or what’s going on?

Yes... slowly but surely.
