Just an FYI. In that scenario, you would have your remaining new hire seatlock added on to the end of the 2 year seat lock you would incur bidding over to the bus. With the proper (or improper) timing, that could leave you with a 3+ year seat lock on the bus. That being said, I'd highly recommend you bid a fleet that is already in SEA. The bus will likely be there in the near future if you really want it.
