If the "Houston carve-out" has grandfather rights, we should also expect to see the same rights granted to all bumps and base closings going forward. Maybe even make it retroactive to all past bumps and base closings since merger.
We live in a seniority based system. If they have the seniority when new bids come out, they should be able to bid it. If they don't, too bad. Just like every other surplus (ORD, DEN, LAX, SEA) in the last 2 years.
