Standing bid positions are offered in either seat based on availability. If here are 10 slots available in a base I want to switch to, I can't go there if they're filled (even if I'm senior to everyone there) until either someone leaves, or if they make an 11th slot. You can't be pushed out of a base unless that base or another base is being reduced.
