All FO seniorities are with a few month of each other. Bids are usually announced at the end of the quarter and close/run/posted the beginning of the quarter a few weeks later. BUT, the last vacancy was a month early, with the 145 displacement. The next one may or may not be early. Likely able to get to base of choice within a bid cycle or two, depending on vacancies and back fills. Back fills are unposted openings (vacancies) created by movement. In this case FOs moving to captain. Depending on the staffing level the company wants, it may or may not back fill all of those “ghost” vacancies.
