The monthly bidding is new to us and there's some contractual language that dictates the way vacancies are posted now, I'd say you'll have some idea where you'll be within the first 2 weeks.
As far as moving days go, you'll have plenty of time to get organized after your type ride. Lots of time off these days... however, you will still get moving days per the contract.
I heard that the 8/15 class will have quite a few MD80 slots. Have you heard the same?
