interesting I didn’t know that. I don’t know if efficient is worse or better for us as a pilot group..........

I didn't do a good job articulating my question...and this attempt won't be any better lol.
I'm not talking about closing categories, I'm talking about displacing all at once. Here's an example:
EWR 777 FO displaced - Seniority 10000 (current jr man ~12600). Bump game would take him on a typical path of 320/737 Captain, 787 FO, eventually 320/737 FO. Maybe jumping bases, but EWR is a pretty jr base in all categories.
EWR 320 Captain jr man is ~10600
EWR 737 Captain jr man is ~10700
EWR 787 FO jr man is ~ 10900
If the end game is that this pilot ends up as a NB FO, can the company displace from all of those categories on the same bulletin thereby resetting the new jr man levels and preventing the EWR777 FO from displacing into any category other than the NB FO? How far can they go with this, and what are the guardrails?

I can't think of an obvious guardrail, other than they have the vested financial incentive to only displace as many as can be trained as well as ensuring that pilots are ending up where they really want them.
It's a chess game for manpower planning, and they need to consider their next six moves while making the first one. Their goal is to reach the desired end state as efficiently as possible so they will use every tool available within the UPA to do that.

We've already done 7hrs or so via IAH-ANC and I think a few other long flights. Isn't some GUM flying augmented for multiple legs? Yeah, it definitely doesn't sound exciting which is why I sure hope the 321XLRs stay on track.

We don’t need to be serving markets like KEF as we dig out from this mess. IceAir shutting down tells you all you need to know. MAX will replace 757 domestic and service will be suspended to the rest.

I do want to make one thing perfectly clear. There is no provision in the current UPA for a system bid. UAL has never had this, and likely won't.
The current displacement/bump protocol is a negotiated PROTECTION in our contract to preclude winter furloughs and other abuses by the company. It was made painful on purpose. The company agreed to this in negotiations, translates directly to jobs saved.
No, the contract never envisioned a pandemic and catastrophe of this magnitude. However, now, more than ever, is the time to adhere to the contract. Don't let the company get away with short cuts. Just because there is a panic, is not a valid reason to abrogate your rights under the contract.
So, don't go volunteering to give up portions or protections in the contract just because it will be difficult-- and you think we need to help the company. Our actions, largely, don't have any affect on the companies survivability/profitability.
Enforce the contract, insist on it!
