Does it say anywhere, or do the pilots just trickle into the base and start bidding while people fall in behind them later?
The new category can start up any month during the conversion window, maybe all at once, but more likely in waves.
It's possible you could convert in Jan and be the plug for 6 months even though you had a 50% restriction on your bid. The qualifiers are for after all conversions.
DTW777 is particularly vulnerable, since it's counting on 2 airframes yet to be delivered.
