If a NYC 73N new hire was trying to get to ATL during their second year, they would be awarded any vacancy in ATL if they were not senior enough to hold ATL 73NB on a bid. However unlikely that would be.
Bingo. Best example is someone starting in NYC330 last year, probably not able to hold 330 anywhere else, after a year could pretty much go to any other NB in the system (aside from NYC in this case) so long as they can hold it in a given AE.
