I know that I can speak to my sponsor about options, but thought I'd see if you guys are interested in answering the specifics.

For a new-hire, or a current line pilot, taking an FDA assignment what are the options? I don't really know IF there are any options other than the new LOA. But to my fuzzy understanding of it there is:

Option 1)
To take the LOA FDA package, with an additional $2700 for expenses (regardless of seat or seniority) and a three year commitment. Then the pilot can bid back to another domicile, once there is a bid, and a vacancy, after the three years.

Option 2)
To move under the CBA's terms (previous to LOA) without the $2700, but with no long-term commitment. One can move higher weight of household goods also?

Option 3)
Is there one?

As always, your input is appreciated.
First grease up a broom stick and place it squarly up your arse.......... then bid an FDA............. Woooooooo That's Gotta Hurt...............
