You can participate on all vacancy bids and enter a bid if your position is being displaced while on LTD. It functions like it does for active pilots, and you can enter it in CCS.
After LTD you will return to your original Base and Seat. If awarded a vacancy bid while out, the company can decide to sent you straight to training on that new equipment, or make you return to your previous position first.
Hope that helps!
