What has been your experience with this situation?
My wife was an EWR F/O on the Guppy who, via bid 14_11 awarded on 07/01/14, was awarded a domicile change to LAX with an effective date of November. She was informed in (if I remember right) late July or early August via a CCS message that she was being moved up to the September bidding period.
Don't forget your transfer days you can request and get paid for. We did (we didn't know they even existed having never done a domicile change before), and missed the eligibility by about two weeks. Probably missed out on a thousand bucks or so of free money.
