No.
Titanic deck chair rearrangement bids get published, removing positions from certain fleets/seats and adding positions to other fleets/seats. They identify the junior pilots in each position who will be subject to a Displacement bid if there aren't enough voluntary moves senior to them during the Realignment bid.
I think some guys on property have 3 Initials in a single 12 month period due to the failure of Crew Planning to project manning needs more than the next bid ahead (or behind).
At least "training is free"...

We have plenty of people who have newly upgraded, yet go right to the middle of the seniority list on the airplane, because they stayed senior in their seat position. Whether you get displaced or not is 100% of where you are in seniority in your seat, nothing else, and it sounds the same as your system.
That's a lot of training. You'd think they would lock people into a seat position for awhile to avoid that. Training costs money.

The company did the same nonsense with realignment bids in Dec '14 and again in April '15, both times putting newhires, recently upgraded Captains, junior ANC pilots in all seats on the displacement block.
There were announcements of newhire classes after each realignment, so hopefully that trend continues...especially given that the company has been interviewing over peak and now into 2016.
