Did anyone else notice they are ALLOWING 700 FO's to BID BACK to the 200? I thought they were just displacing captains. Did I miss something here?
 
more importantly they are allowing senior capt's to bid back to FO! ;)

I already knew captains were being displaced, but why are FOs being allowed to bid back. This isn't a normal vacancy bid I thought, but only one to allow whatever captain wanted to bid back to do so. How is FOs transfering going to solve the Capt displacement problem?
 
Probably won't, but that would be the letter of the contract. Theoretically the capts will be senior to the FO's and they will only need to let the number of capts go they want. On a side note all that locker room chatter does not seem to be coming true just guys ranting. When they have the chance to put their $$ where their mouths are they aren't stepping up.

And if not enough captains step up to take to bid and fill it, then what? Do they take the difference and displace that many captains or actually allow those FOs to bid over?
 
What I can't stand is the fact that everyone gets to bypass their seat locks for the past two awards. Yet the guys that went over to the 700 when the 900s came over a few months ago are still seat locked. Why let some people avoid seat lock while others are still locked in??

Because the company has the contractual right to utilize seat locks only when it is convenient for them.
