Switching domiciles: regardless of which domicile you are hired into, you may bid into any other domicile via the equipment bid process. The procedure is being worked out and I know there are some very frustrated guys, but the basic premise is that any pilot on the seniority list will have priority over any new-hire when a domicile slot opens up. You may have been hired into TEB, but before they can hire a new guy into PBI, they've got to let you bid to it. However, the process is still "in process".

As far as the relationship between NJA and NJI: NJA has a union, NJI doesn't. There will be a "come to Jesus" vote in the future about merging the two seniority lists.

Also remember that any NJA pilot who wishes may bid over to NJI after two years assuming there is a vacancy posting. A pilot who switches from NJA to NJI is then locked into NJI for three years, but retains his original NJA seniority number if he ever wants to come back.

The whole issue of the merged list is going to be very interesting and could be very contentious in the future.

Personally, I'm betting on NJA's union due to size and clout. The NJI guys are actually treated better right now since NetJets would very much like to see that division stay non-union.
