Limbo land? You are joking right? Seniority cascades downwards, hence the discussion about resulting training costs.

No I'm not joking. Where in the LHWD does it detail what happens to a displaced pilot? To save you looking, the answer is nowhere!
In the last 767 RIN, the Company took two paths with displacement. A 767 FO was displaced and demoted. An A330 FO was displaced and stayed. There were no advertised vacancies for either but obviously the A330 could/would accommodate the extra.
Now what happens if an A380 FO is displaced by a 767 CPT. Will the A380 FO stay? or will they be given an A330 FO position (they can't displace an A330 FO as the A380 FO is not on a named RIN)? What if there is no capacity to take extra on the A330 either?
Will this trigger an A380 FO RIN? Is that how it's defined in the LHWD?
Will they be demoted? Can they be demoted if there remains a more junior FO on the A330? Application of seniority says
"demotion or termination if redundancies occur". Does this mean VR or CR? If it means CR and there is no CR, does that mean demotion out of seniority is possible?
If the A380 FO is demoted, does he get A380 SO or A330 SO? Where does it say? What if there are no vacancies?
That is why I think there is a lot of "limbo land" for those that will be displaced.
