For the record from what I'm seeing this new ta is pretty heinous.
Looks like airport stby is gone and pay is up but that's it. No dropping or swapping trips. Obv the forced cpt on new hires. Ya. Not ideal at all
If you got forced into a captain bid, which is extremely unlikely, the award would be for a certain base, likely a coastal base. You start flying as an FO and can base trade as an FO. But then when you do the upgrade you will go back to where ever your original award was. You can do a lateral off of that, though, assuming that there is a vacancy available.
If we are getting to the point when we are forcing upgrades, though, I could see IAH & ORD shrinking.
