Historically (the last 4ish years) the MD guys and FDA guys showed up a day early and did a hub tour. The others did their hub tour on the last day.
If they’ve changed this then it’s news to me. I see the gripe if they all start at the same time and can’t bid. If you start a day early and the only positions are MD, well seems like that’s that. It’s a work around that I thought was contractually sound as far as I knew.
