Implementation date: 3rd quater 2021.
Also a lot of guys bypass in the vacation bidding month. Oct should be more accurate for upgrades.

How does seniority within a class get decided? Age? I assume you still bid amongst a class for initial domiciles?

Good point. It's actually pretty dumb to upgrade in a vacation bid month.

Age.
There will be up to 4 classes in a bid period. Being in the most senior class will help tremendously. The junior class almost always goes to the junior base in its entirety.

So with a 1 Aug start date, is that the senior class for the month, or does it depend on a finish date and when bidding for the following month occurs?

The last class in July will prob be the sr class since I don't think they were on the Sept bid. So 8/1 will be in the middle/jr class. Might have another class behind that depending on their start date.

If that's true then the last July and 1st 2 classes in aug should be on the Oct bid. The last 2 Aug and first Sept would prob be on the Nov bid.

The next class after 1 August is 8 August then a two week gap until the third one.


All times are GMT -8. The time now is 01:25 AM.
