When MEM transitioned from Classic to LDS there was no manning base swap out. Plan on them transitioning (Difference Training) all of the pilots over a 3 month window. Once you take the difference course you will no longer be qualified in the classic and your next rip will be the two SLF legs. There will be some confusion as scheduling figure out that no they can't draft you for that trip. At least that how it will work out if they do it like they did before.
