For CDG, the company can opt to train MEM FO's first if they are all filled and SIBA them to CDG until either CDG vacancies are filled with a subsequent Bid or New hires are put there.
My bet is that SIBA would be the first and easiest option of the two.
Time will tell.
Why would the company use SIBA, when they can STV someone for a month (or legally 3 months)? It is less expensive to STV, plus JL (and the company) already indicated that SIBA was not an option. SIBA does not fit into how the lines are being built. Plus, the company and union already indicated that STV was going to go senior. That people were going to jump all over it.
