If you look in the comments of BS's video on skyhub, he answers where the next 350 base is going to be (until the plan changes).

DALPA hasn't authorized me to read those comments! What are doing on Skyhub unity buster?

So where?

What do you have to do to get a bypass? I want one, I just don't know how to get it if I don't want to go to training. How close to the flame can I get without singeing the wings?

Lol! Wish I had that crystal ball too!!!

You are more likely to get a bypass the older you are. The problem the company runs into is if there are a couple of younger guys amongst those requesting a bypass. The company cannot "pass over" the younger guys to bypass more junior, older pilots. So they either have to bypass the younger guys too or everyone junior to them goes to training.

At least that's my understanding. Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I actually think that is something that should be changed. Bypass should strictly be based on how long you have til retirement. Seniority should have no bearing. In the end I think it would be better for pilots and the company.

It's not a contractual requirement as far as I can tell. The company made the conscious decision that it isn't fair to the senior pilot that requested pilot to bypass a pilot junior to them if the senior pilot requested it.

The company is permitted to go above and beyond the contract if they desire, although it still confuses me that they do in this case. I will add though that at this point it'd probably be considered status quo.
