not just on paper, but actually flying out of there.
do you have to wait until next system bid?
this one that just came out is for 2014.
so you could get it on paper on next bid 6 months from now, and not actually move until second half of 2014?
or if they have openings there in next few months, can you put it on a monthly standing bid, and be over there by this summer. or would those openings go to new hires this summer?
thanks.
AllIn,
Until the SLI, these are some of your options to get to IAH,
1. Submit a base trade with IAH pilot that wants to go to EWR.Under the old contract there was a 30 day waiting period before it was effective. I know the base trade blocking has been changed but I'm not sure about the wait time.
2. If you are holding EWR 756, you will have to wait until the next bid to bid IAH. It shouldn't be a problem as right now there are a ton of open spots in IAH for the 756 (FO). The company will base adva de you to IAH when they need you (provided it is before the effective date of the bid).
3. Request a hardship. If approved you will be placed at the bottom of the IAH list regardless of seniority.
Good luck.
