It is possible that is part of the issue here. I’m not 100% sure, but as a new hire, probably for both seats, you can bid to change base. Certainly FOs can not change equipment and I THINK the DECs are stuck in equipment as well for the two year lock. I don’t see why both new hire CAs and FOs couldn’t change BASE only if there are openings and seniority allows it.

There were vacancies in both ORD and DFW on the 175 for FOs, so those on the 175 can move between base. There were the same number listed in both locations, so for those it is just a lateral and effectively for for the company a paper shuffle.

And either way, if the system allows you to put in a bid for something that you are not permitted, it will be ignored when the bid is run.
