There is a seat lock (I think 6 months) on the base and seat you get awarded when hired. After that, if you want to move over to the Q, you will get it before any additional new hire if you change your standing system bid. You can thank the committee members of our union for that because in the past, awards were more a matter of luck and who you knew!
