Frowned upon by whom?
It’s in the contract. And though I personally have a huge distaste for A’s who jump 20-30% in seniority by doing it as their norm, I wouldn’t hold it against a NH who involuntarily got NYC but lives on the opposite coast doing it.
Having said that, I would also make sure they have a bid on this AE to SEA, regardless of posted vacancies.
