Additionally, 2 yrs would require one to go back through the entire transition course right? Just axin'...

need to be in your current seat (active) for 18 months to be allowed to bid/awarded a down or lateral position.

once you activate into your down/lateral then you are frozen for 24 months. Projected training dates can play into if you can bid or not and that is up to the Company.

The beef an MD11 FO MEM would have is that they would never reach the percentage that they bid if those slots go unfilled. Say one of them bid ANC 60%, MEM 90%, ANC 70%, MEM 100% and got awarded MEM 90%. If those 98 slots go unfilled that FO should have been awarded ANC 70%.

Really, it's just another example of the mindset here: it doesn't affect me so it isn't a problem. Yeah, until it is.

MD11 0 CA 20 FO
Bus 21 CA 21 FO
727 0 CA 10 FO 10 SO

EUR based:

HKG based:
Bus 13 CA 10 FO

Please forgive my ignorance. If this is the 12-01 bid, am I to assume any vacancies not filled would be filled by new hires? I've heard rumors of 500 new hires this year. No calls yet...

I'm afraid you got some bad gouge. There have been 80ish new hires since Jan, and there will be about 112 more (16 new hires x 7 months) this year. Nowhere close to 500. Already putting new hires in wide body F/O seats.

Your ignorance is forgiven. Go in peace.

No apology necessary. I believe there will be quite a few unfilled spots in HKG.
