Junior 7er pilot in slc, looking to stay. Is it better to bid 7er to lax and sea in order to stay in equipment and hopefully get back without having to go to lovely Virginia ave? Or just bite the bullet and bid to the 73n or 320?
Also what are the rules regarding displacements and any special priority in getting back to your original base when it opens again.
Thanks dudes!
This is a simplistic answer fwiw...
If you want to stay in base, only put in mandatory displacement preferences to SLC.
If you want to stay on the equipment, put in mandatory displacement preferences to the -ER at other bases.
You have reinstatement rights to the -ER for I think a year or two. Hiring is only slowing, not stopping. I doubt if you get bumped or moved from SLC -ER.
Don't use AE preferences or VD preferences in this case unless you are not already SLC-ER.
