I'm trying to put in my transfer from ORD to DFW so my commute from OKC won't be as bad. Does it need to be entered when the bid period is open or can it be entered at anytime?
Thanks
Not sure how to help you out with DECS, maybe email your domicile CPO if you still don't have access when the next bid comes out, but nothing in schedules to be run soon. Rumor is next bid is towards the end of the year.
Make sure all of you new hires who are wanting to switch bases (E145 only) are signed up in ALPA's MIDT program. It's a monthly domicile transfer program that lets you swap with a pilot from another base. The only caveats are there has to be another pilot willing to swap bases with you, and you cannot trade into a base that your seniority won't hold. Basically, you can't trade in unless there is someone junior to you already in that base.
Sign in to the ENY ALPA site and do a search for MIDT. It might help you get that base transfer sooner than later.
