I think you better plan on a -1 existing on the next excess bid for the seat you just left. Otherwise, whatever seat you bid to relieve to is where you get to stay for a while. Doesn't matter how senior you are.

My guess is that the next one will have a few less "-1"s.

You'll see a "-1" on everything as it will keep the numbers in each seat the same if any senior guys in an excessed seat decided to move.

We'll see. You may be right. I think though that any musical chair action will try to be avoided - even if it means possibly just a few more than planned in a seat.
