By ASAP, Sailing means after 1 year, minimum. Not including the lag in actually getting converted after the bid... We seem to be having 4-5 bids a year over the last 3 years, so you’d have to have some luck to bid “out” of an undesirable base right at that 1-year point. It could easily approach 2 years after hire date before conversion if that bid is a 365 day conversion window.
The only immediately available bid options are a base change on the same aircraft.
