Or is the company going to continue to upgrade and keep upgrade times fairly junior? Also, what if something comes up and someone wants to simply bid out of a base in the future? They won't be able to do so for another year once this bid is submitted and closed?
I don't know how other companies do it, but this annual system bid non-sense is one thing I definitely didn't ask for or want in our CBA. I feel like a lot of people are going to end up being screwed over just due to basic mistakes/misunderstanding of the bid with no way to fix it once finalized.
I see this becoming an issue. Say you take 190 ca on this bid because you missed 320ca by 5 numbers. Now you are trained and serving out your seat lock and along comes a supplemental bid where you would easily hold 320ca but someone junior to you gets it because you’re ineligible to bid for it. Any supplemental bid should have to wave seat/equipment locks.
