NB LH vs. WB RSV?
Currently just above the G-Line, narrowbody. Trying to weigh pros and cons of staying put or giving WB life a go. Most likely would have to choose the 78. One leg commute, now, may move to a base within the next 6-8 months. Any insights would be really appreciated. Thanks.

Better bid that WB first before you move bases. You'll incur a 3 yr (i think) freeze if in same airframe lateral to another base. 2 year if new airframe. Ie 320 - 737.
unless you meant just pick up and move residences to new base.

8-D-2-a
When a Pilot is awarded an assignment through vacancy bidding and such award does
not move him from a lower-numbered band to a higher-numbered band in accordance with
Section 8-D-1-c, he may be ineligible to be awarded any other vacancy for (-1-) thirty-six (36)
months, if the Pilot did not change Base as a result of the award; or (-2-) twenty-four (24)
months if the Pilot did change Base as a result of the award. However, a Pilot shall be eligible
to be awarded a vacancy for a “lateral” award (i.e., change in Base only; Equipment and Status
remain the same, where ‘Equipment and Status’ is determined using the Pilot’s most-recent
vacancy or displacement award) without incurring an additional bidding freeze.

I was going to say the same thing. I suspect the 777 is in a similar situation. The last 4 out of 5 vacancy bids didn't contain any WB slots. The one that did the most jr award was 12xxx. The WB ship has sailed. It will be easier for a junior pilot to become a NB Capt than to hold out for a WB seat. Sure there will be a smattering of vacancies here and there, but there are a lot of sr NB pilots ready to make the move.

I knew that was going to happen!🙄 The second I hit submit a vacany bid appears with 68 WB Capt slots. But my statemnt about FOs stands. In fact this is what the CRU said: Due to the surplus of First Officers, there are no backfills or postings for these positions and we’ll be planning to utilize IRO pairings in W patterns for the winter where necessary.
