And as you pointed out, you can still get knocked out before you get there if too junior. Or even after you get there.

It 100% sucks. Most DECs from my new hire class have apps out.

QOL is more important than money to me and I can go to NYC with the company now and keep my 52% seniority number. Been told that I can be displaced off airframe and out of base both and been told just the opposite. Just asking you guys before I decide yes or no. Thanks for the help!
