With that in mind, would it be better for me to bid NYC and try to swop with the AE (advanced entitlement/system-wide bid) or bid SLC and commute for the 10 months or so? How often does the company offer the AE? And then, let say one is awarded SLC, can one be bumped out of that base by a shift in seniority somehow?
Appreciate all the info here, and excited to get going!
I'd bid NYC 73N, 320, or 220 in whatever order you prefer to avoid the commute and extra expenses with any SLC openings as a backup. If they plan on doing this monthly AE you should be able to put in for it about six months down the road and transition nicely. Plus you'll be able to enjoy the benefits of being based in NYC (faster senority rise, no commute stress, same day green slips). Displacements are pretty rare but going through some this AE and one more by the end of the year as the 7ER gets booted out of Seattle. Welcome to Delta!
