It's not fair to anyone! That's the point! It shouldn't happen, and it wouldn't happen at other airlines. When a company loses a fleet type, transitions need to be made. This is why other airlines have thicker contracts. Prepare for everything.
No line-holding pilots should be displaced from their domicile to sitting reserve below people they are senior to. Even for one month.

Sorry, I think there's some confusion on the meaning of the word displace.

Is anything like this happening at Piedmont? Did it happen at Air Wisconsin? Envoy is currently displacing pilots, any of them being forced to sit reserve? Did it happen at Horizon?

Go look at his post history. He agrees with the troll that started the other thread about his amazing interview experience. He hasn’t posted in 6 months and then didn’t know we were downgrading. I don’t think he works here on lives with his head in the sand. And call him Snowflake, he seemed to love to throw that word around back in April.

As far as NOV goes, I have been displaced from EWR DH8 FO to EWR 145 FO. There is no more DH8 FO in EWR. They cannot give a schedule to EWR DH8 FO, it doesn't exist.
Either let me sit as jet FO until class, or assign me as IAD DH8 FO where I would hold a line over reserve, and most likely cause more grief to those in IAD. There is no in between.

I suggest they live with their decision to run a full displacement.

The company gave you the opportunity to bid for IAD base you chose not to. So what's your argument?

What are you missing here?
I should hold a line in IAD, not be forced to sit reserve in a "ghost" position, until my training class begins.

My argument is that we are being asked to bid for a schedule in a position that no longer exists. A schedule that is guaranteed to be reserve.

There are no lines being added to the Dash flying in IAD. Therefore you are not eligible to bid a line in Dulles since there are no vacancies there. Just because flying is going away in your base doesn't entitle you to flying in a base other than yours. That's how seniority works.
We have ALL been displaced, we cannot be EWR DH8 CA or FO. Why should I have to bid for a EWR DH8 schedule when the position does not exist.
I'm not saying I'm entitled to anyone's IAD flying under these circumstances. I have been displaced to ERJ for Nov according to the displacement bid. I had a choice and I chose ERJ.
The company cannot eliminate a position, displace everyone from that position, and then require them to bid for a reserve schedule in that same position.
