VBD guys are considered to be based in whatever base they happen to be in that month. There's no separate schedule award for them. I'm VBD, but my schedule is under the PGD section.

What would it take to change some rules in the NMB regarding RLA? Is it an act of Congress? Is it a board vote? Seriously, I am surprised that some labor group has not try to change some of the rules, at least to make it more level. Instead of having no timeline to come to an agreement before a cooling off period, say negotiate for 2 years, no agreement - automatic proffer and wait for another 6 months, no agreement - automatic 30 day cooling off agreement. Something like that. How can the rules be proposed to be changed?

About 9 months ago. I doubt any new hires will be going to CVG anytime soon, since there are a few people that want it but are seat locked out of it. As the time passes and those seat locks expire, those guys will bid over and further extend the time it will take you to get awarded it.

That seems to be a dangerous bet for the company to count on always being able to put fresh meat in the seat. Other airlines seem genuinely concerned about a steady flow of pilots. The big wave of hiring has barely begun and it will be ugly the next 10 to 15 years. Discouraging longevity seems risky in this environment. I think it's going to blow up in their face.
