Thanks lol.
On your first day of class they'll post on the board what bases and equipment is available for bidding.
The last vacancy bid had 100 open FO positions for all bases except SJU. All jets have vacancies right now. Not sure what is going on with the ATR. They may have openings or Eagle may let the fleet dwindle down and displace everyone.
The most senior person bids first on down the line. Seniority is determined by age. Anyone who goes straight to the jet will be seat locked until they upgrade or are displaced.
One you have access to the computer you can place a bid for a different base.
Anyone who ends up in the ATR ( if there are any vacancies) will have a 1 year seat lock.
I hope this helps.
