Earlier in the thread "Tony Nelson" had suggested an idea that senior pilots could bid new bases, but not use their system seniority, thereby enjoying the "new base" but not at the expense of the existing pilots.


Good catch Skypest! I glossed right over that point because I didn't consider the transition agreement as part of a question about SLI. The only way people will get bumped from base is by reductions and the only way people will enter a new base is if there are vacancies. That will have a dampening effect on base personnel changes, but I expect to see lots of rearranging of equipment in the first several years while the new business plan is proven.
