I think we need more frequent bids, but should also keep our vacation if we change base or seats.
No they actively touted it linked with mandatory allocation after the annual bid as a way to increase the seniority list even if the airline stagnates as each year you will have 2 cohorts progressing from year 9-10 and another from 19-20 thus generating more vacation weeks which would need to be covered.

It's safe to say there will be displacements on this years bid. So how does this play out let's say for a Jr JFK 320 CA getting displaced, let's say somebody in the 3000+ seniority range. They want to keep their 320CA seat in JFK..... but let's say they're not senior enough...and their fallback is either BOS320 CA or JFK220CA....... Do they go ahead of a more senior pilot, let's say a senior FO (2000 seniority #) who is bidding the same thing for the first time?

within an effective date of a bid containing vacancies and displacements the processing order is first all of the displacements happen. Those displaced pilots can go wherever their seniority can hold. There doesn’t need to be an open vacancy for them to displace. After the displacements are processed then the vacancies are filled with regular bidders.

so in your example the displaced Jr 320 CA would go first, and the new bidder would need to have an open vacancy to fill a CA seat. They couldn’t bump someone out like the displaced jr 320 CA could.

Ok...So the E190 CA (being displaced) can knock most guys out of their seats......The JR JFK320 CA would lose their seat.......And the Senior FO would be bidding for any vacancies on equal footing as the displaced JR 320 CA.... Makes sense, fair enough IMO.

Yes, keep in mind the displaced JR JFK 320 CA would be getting displaced and able to use his seniority to go anywhere and bump someone else, so you don’t need a vacancy compared to the Senior FO bidding for a vacancy. Make sure your Involuntary Displacement Bid is updated with the seats you want in the event of a displacement (and put your current seat as priority #1)

To be fair the yearly system bid is why a bunch of guys are on captain pay who might otherwise not be.

so in this case it worked in our favor.

Also keep in mind you will get displacement rights come the annual bid as well. So if they do add vacancies on the annual bid, you will have rights to your position before other vacancy bidders.

Hello im trying to understand something here from reading the comments.
If a pilot was displaced from A320 CA JFK in the supplemental bid of june 2023 and has displacement rights until march 2025.
Will that pilot get the CA JFK 320 award back most likely in the 2024 supplemental bid since it would be for 2025 staffing?

Probably not in the supplemental bid we’re expecting on May 10th, since that will likely be displacements only (my speculation). You should get JFK 320 CA on the regular Annual Bid that opens at the beginning of August.

Ok understood. Now lets say you get it back with the August bid could they have you start training the same year with an effective date like december or even november 2024 since the rights expire in 2025 around march?
It would be crazy to have an effective date in feb 2025 a month prior to expiration of rights. My opinion
