Do new hires bid every month on property (since indoc) or is the "initial drop" really the first bid out of training / IOE? Reason I ask this is that it would give me some heads-up on whether a crash pad would be required. Fortunately I have a family owned property not far from EWR that would make LGA possible, at least until I could bid out.
Yes. New hires get to bid on what is available. Bidding within a class is based on age. Oldest = most senior.
Yes. Your bid is active every month which is why an individual may never spend a day in their initially awarded base.
