Separately - if you are 12 months out from being able to traing for a captain award, you can still bounce from base to base - leading to the situation where people can bid for (and receive) two awards on a given vacancy. Say you were awarded SFO 737 CA on day 1 (which included SFO 737 FO). You could subsequently be awarded DEN 737 FO and EWR 737 CA on the same bid.
Are they doing PS commutes for said CAs? I might be confused, but I thought I read those that chose to upgrade got PS commutes for a certain amount of time (12 months I think?)
