And/or (not only) to provide slots for 737 FO's in other domiciles to lateral in and FO's from similar paying seats to bid in for better seniority at the same pay.

While we can bid those slots to change base or airplane, that isn't why the company publishes those vacancies. If they just needed to shuffle the existing pilots around it would be through displacements.
