if you look at the projected effective date of -05, base transfers are projected in october. could it be that it may happen sooner, or the -06 bid could also be effective in october meaning the atlanta base in october?
as far as the june class, they were told they won't be able to bid until they complete training. this will turn into a huge problem if the july class is awarded seats that the june class has seniority over.

Oh, and you probably already know this, but saying things like “my previous airline” in class will immediate label you as “that guy”.

let me clarify, the june 1 class got to choose between 10 mco 8 phl 8 mia 8 tpa. some pilots did not get their desired base, for example, if a pilot was awarded mia but wanted phl, and the july class is awarded phl while the june guy is stuck in mia, this is not good, they were told they can't system bid into a desired base until after training.
