Since 1994, I have only been displaced once, and that was when my base closed. Something strange going on......

Schedule, money, and aggravate Herve. It's a three-fer.

The company could have displaced before the 1611V was awarded and that would of prevented the mess that is coming. You would think with 75 787 displacements and 50 vacancies on the 777 in IAH you could forecast how it would play out.

Figure the first bump will be just 787 FOs in IAH, but if that creates too much of an overstaffing on the 777 in IAH then they will bump off of the 787 and 777 in rounds two and three.
If guys are "volunteering" on the first round they may be senior enough to really create issues for rounds two and three, since they wouldn't be the ones getting bumped off of the 777.

8-F-3 addresses cancellation of vacancy awards. Not clear if they can cancel an award for just one BES without cancelling the whole thing. I'm guessing at this point someone with a 1611V award is already scheduled for an early Sept. training date (14 day notice required).

1. Flight ops, training, staffing, and marketing meet twice a year.
2. None of these departments have the others phone numbers,and are not allowed to email anyone outside their department.
3. There are separate offices that manage vacancies and displacements, and they have equal power.
4. There must be a bonus for the department that can generate the most training cycles and/or paid moves.
5. Management has a mandate to perform all vacancies first and then all displacements.

Probably nothing. The training costs are fixed, since the PIs get paid whether or not they are training anyone.
Also what is the cost to have to train other pilots to fly those other positions that these extra pilots could be flying? I'm guessing the cost to just pay 100 WB FOs is a lot more than putting them somewhere they will be productive.

Bumps are a GREAT deal for a pilot, to a large extent because there is no freeze with a bump.
