So a CA can't bid to an FO spot. All pilots with 950 will be displaced to CA spot. NO pilot should preference to upgrade while the company is forcing upgrades. If or when you get displaced to CA then the next bid preference for an FO position and then subsequently get displaced during the displacement round. From there you can have the 175 CA position in your top displacement and hope to get the 175.
My last and final advice is to contact your union rep if you want bidding advice. Tell them what you want and they will point you in the right direction.

Classroom: DNR, 3 class days (classes look exactly like CQ ground)
CPT: 2 sessions then SV and PV (very similar to the QC CPT/SV/PV)
SIM: 4 lessons including 1 LOFT, then MV and LOE
IOE: Looks like ALL Captains going thru training get 50 hours of IOE, then their Initial Line Check/FAA Observation

E75 Upgrade Training Footprint
Did CRJ program go through a certification process for Qualified upgrades? If so who pulled the plug and why?
Now that the CRJ is going to be around ANOTHER 1.5 - 2 yrs. Would be a no brainer decision to have one, and it would be nice for those 1st time upgrades already typed and experienced on it plus 50hrs IOE, makes for an even safer, and more efficient operational transition. The irony of how some management folks point fingers behind closed doors that Line Pilots are inefficient, costly, and wasteful. Each fleet type should have a Qualified Upgrade program in place at a time when there is CA shortage. Just my 2 cents. We all want the best for this company.

The future of a CRJ QU program has never been shot down as a definite no. Unfortunately, not too many students would qualify to attend a CRJ QU so as to get enough data for a SGT. This last bid might make a difference, we'll see.
