I’m not sure what people don’t understand.
When Qf recruits pilots to mainline, those who are recruited are TOLD on which fleet they are going to start. Desires as opposed to entitlements are considered. Weight is given to experience where there is a choice. If for some reason not enough of the already employed pilots bid for B737 F/O, then someone will be assigned. If there are pilots in their first 18 months of service, they will be just TOLD. In order to avoid accusations of unfairness reverse seniority is usually used but it is not an entitlement.If there is no-one in their first 18 months of service, then reverse order of seniority is used. To the best of my knowledge there has always been a willing bidder. Why not?
DE B 737 F/Os is fanciful IMHO.
