I'm curious how this October bid is going to affect the Academy. Even though it's just going to be a standard vacancy bid, I imagine that a chain reaction of training events will occur as a result. We already seemingly have a full plate just keeping the recalls and small new hire classes going through, while keeping everyone current. I wonder how they'll keep classes going while getting these preference and entitlements all trained up?

Lucky - there's not going to be 500 guys generating training via the post SLI bid. There's X training slots. Manning fills those as needed. That's why it takes awhile after the run before the awards are released. They start allowing, or denying, bids to fill the training slots for the different bases/seats they need.
So it might take months and months, along with the company generating the slots via retirement or equipment growth or shuffling manning in bases, for everyone to get the transfers they want.

I understand that there won't be massive vacancies on that bid. I just assume that there will be a backfill vacuum created. Ostensibly a few vacancies in 2 bases could cause a chain reaction of training events needed as crews swap equipment for their new choice of available bases. Just a few dozen vacancies in LAX or MIA seem capable of creating 100 plus training cycles. I realize that they won't be doing these all at once, but it could sure fill up the dance card in a hurry.

One month in, I think it's good. I worked pretty hard at getting a good standing bid and learning how to get sensible layers built. I think that there are some people senior to me that might take a few months to get up to speed on it. As a result I did a little better than I would have expected to with a paper bid, but I wouldn't be surprised if that changed as people figure out the system.

Hey folks. I guess I passed the video interview as I'm scheduled to interview end of Aug as a new OTS mil guy.. Any idea how long it will take new hires to get DFW? (months or is it years?) Should I start looking at crash pads in Miami if I am fortunate enough to get the CJO? Thanks so much!
