Jesus, this sucks. Reserve in LGA until Feb instead of moving in December on the 200. I'm so ****ed at myself right now.

if you wanted the 900 over the 200 then you got what you wanted... If you didn't then you didn't bid properly. You now see why, unless you are very senior in seat (company wide) and bidding same seat in new base, the first bid tends to go relatively junior... it will then likely be more senior for a couple bids before settling out, because guys don't want to risk bidding into a position that ends up with a long time on reserve in most cases. The other thing is that the company has already announced the end of MSP 200 but didn't really start the process of that yet... There are over 100 MSP pilots that will soon have to decide where to go ( if they bother to stay at this company at all, I hear Sun Country and Delta are hiring 
) What are your base choices, airplane choices and priorities? You have to basically rank and prioritize those. For those that live in a base, that should be a relatively easy task based on bidding for home first, for those that commute, it becomes a question of commutability and commuting costs, blend in your seniority and go from there.
