My concern is that I won't even be able to bid on naturally occurring "organic" vacancies as they come up on the other side, and vice versa. I know our PHX brethren want off "the island" ASAP, for example, and with a seniority list finally in place, there theoretically should be no impediment for them to do so, vacancies permitting. I should be allowed to bid into DFW if I like, and my colleagues there should be allowed to bid into CLT. There is so much movement system-wide that availability of vacancies shouldn't be a constraint. I'm more worried about the company coming up with creative other excuses on why this can't happen next fall.
Thought it was a "fishbowl" now.
