If for some bizarre reason both bases are available (for my seniority level) I want to ensure I get DTW from the get go. Additionally, I don't want to be responsible for housing while in retaining and not get per diem because I'm 'home-based'.
Depends on the bids. If enough people transfer over to DTW you might see some recalls get assigned CVG. I dont know anything reassuring that will get you DTW base after being recalled.
Contract says you will go back to the base you were furloughed from. So on the company behalf you are screwed per diem and housing.
