Transfers are awarded based on seniority. It doesn't matter what base you're in (as long as you're on the correct plane). If you're on the Brasilia waiting for a transition to LAX CRJ they'll award transfers to people junior to you. If you're on the CRJ bidding LAX CRJ you'll get it as soon as your seniority can hold it. It most likely won't take more than a year and at times can be quicker than that.
