​​​​​First class of March = Jul vacancy. You'll get an extra 3-4 weeks at your temp Domicile in June and then have 180 new hires hitting the line at the same time as you in July. That means holding mdw reserve or potentially a line in Baltimore/Orlando.

You'll lose ~30 seniority #s overall for short term gain but it could be worth it for some folks.

Apparently vacancy bids are monthly. Is there any sort of lock on your base straight out of training or could we just bid the next available month what we want?
