To bid captain you must be off probation, which includes not only the first 6-9 month MV/LOE but also the completion of 12-bid months an 165 days of work. The first MV/LOE is usually before the 12-month point needed to be released from probation. Regardless in order to be “awarded” a captain vacancy, one must already be off probation (in other words the bid would not be awarded if still on probation); and once off probation they would not be Able to just fire you for not bidding captain.
