Hilltopper,
I see by your avatar, etc. that you are currently IAH 737? So you are a 737 mainline pilot for UAL I am assuming? I hate to break it to you but there are going to be no openings in CLE on the 737. CLE staffing is not increasing on the mainline side and the past few vacancy bids have shown the MIN staffing number in CLE going down each bid. The MAX is set to current staffing, but Man Power Planning lowers the MIN number so if people bid out another vacancy isn't created.
I'm not saying you can't bid for it in the vacancy bidding process, but you are not likely to get it. There are pilots commuting from CLE to other bases with base trades in for CLE who haven't been able to get in.
