100% correct. The SLC 767 guys will get it via an MD if their seniority can hold it and everyone else will get it with an AE if their seniority can hold it. Lots of confusion over an issue we have seen twice in the last two bids.

If you do not want to bid anything for an AE and stay put, do not put in anything. I always have a MD in place just in case. I've never had it used when I didn't know that I was going to get displaced but it's just a catchall. As others stated earlier, when you are awarded something on a bid, all your preferences are deleted (including VD/MD preferences.
Sorry I don't know the answer to your other question other than to say "to be on the safe side I'd take the whole thing." But I don't know for sure.

Yeah, what I'm think'en too. Plus, if I take it, maybe they'll want me to do a Saipan
Just trying to not take it home or through security to the bag room after the DH home. Like I said, just being lazy

I hear you guys but I'm willing to bet it turns out differently. You've seen many more AEs than me so I may be naive but here is why I disagree:
1)I'm fairly junior and I got into SLC on the last AE.
2)DALS pilots tend to over value DALS products and bases compared to how DALN pilots actually feel. That being said, your perception that its going to create a North wave is a little off. Yall said that about ATL and that never materialized, more the opposite.
3)Senior North pilots can already hold the ER or better(330/744) in SEA/MSP/DTW. Basically they would have to bid down to go to SLC. I really don't see it, especially with all the openings.
I may be way off base but we will see in a few weeks.

Yes...with some of the ATL positions moving to JFK and other fNWA bases.
And lots of vacancies for fDAL pilots to bid on in fNWA bases. Don't get the significance of your statement.
Nobody knows that until all the shaking out gets shaken out. NYC going more senior than some thought may have something to do with the fact that 777 and 765 positions went from ATL to JFK.
What I see so far is the fNWA "waves" into fDAL bases either haven't happened or have been equally offset by "waves" of fDAL guys flowing into fNWA bases and aircraft. All good stuff in my book.
