To give an example, suppose there are no published CA vacancies in DTW and ACY. And then a vacancy is available for 5 DFW CAs. Suppose all 5 are DFW FOs that end up getting that DFW CAs. Now, within this vacancy award, if 1 DTW CA has ACY as #1 choice and 1 ACY CA has DTW as #1 choice, then would this allow a 1-for-1 mutual swap? Does that make sense? I hope I'm clear in what I'm asking
I get what you are saying. But here's the problem. Let's say you are the # 1 ACY CA (bidding #1) and, a Mid level ACY CA wants to go to DTW as his #1 choice. What if that DTW CA that comes over is senior to you and bump you to the #2 spot? You would need a vacancy because if you do swaps, it would mess with the seniority in base.
