Absolutely!! You are eligible to bid same equipment, different base on DAY ONE!! It happened to me during indoc a while back so yes.

A new bid will create new vacancies after that bid is awarded. Then those vacancies are used for future new hires.
If awarded a 757/767 as a new hire, UPS often allows a move to a different 757/767 domicile. (SDF/SDFZ/MIA/ONT)
Hope this helps.

Salty, “often allows” is not the best description. If you are in indoc, and a system bid comes open, as will most likely occur next month, you WILL BE awarded a base change IF your seniority can hold it. Equipment lock is 18 months, but there is no base lock. If assigned 75/76, you can freely move between domiciles every system bid IF your seniority can hold it. It is purely seniority based.

Last few have been June and December. If you start in July, you will have to wait until December, and then most likely 6 months after that for effective date, unless you are allowed to transfer early (doesn’t happen often). So plan on a full year.
