If I understand the contract correctly-- Staffing bids only happen when a base opens/closes, new equipment, furlough, etc...Just because it's been 12 months doesn't mean there has to be another staffing bid. It just means that any remaining MIA awarded pilots, after 12 months, will be given out-of-base benefits (positive space, hotel, per diem) at the base they are currently at (not MIA). Regardless, this wont apply because everyone awarded MIA was pretty much forced to bid out through a pref bid to a vacant base. It was that, or sit TDY reserve until those 12 months were up...In short, if you came from a 1900-only base into the Saab and was awarded MIA (like I was), you were screwed because you pretty much had to give up your place in line...
