As far as moving days go, you'll have plenty of time to get organized after your type ride. Lots of time off these days... however, you will still get moving days per the contract.

You'll get your base assignment during the monthly bid for which you fall in. Usually the vacancies are posted around the 1st(ish) and awards are made by the 20th. I would imagine the 8/15 class might have a chance to bid with us this time but the 9/19 class might have their own bid after we get what we want. The monthly bidding is new to us and there's some contractual language that dictates the way vacancies are posted now, I'd say you'll have some idea where you'll be within the first 2 weeks.

If no AB FO's senior to them want AVL, then they will go to AB training. The base will be staffed with either MD80 VBD or AB VBD until the training is completed.

But how will they handle a larger base such as PIE or SFB? If there would be displacements, would they only displace a few at a time in a large base aircraft by aircraft or displace all affected pilots at once? The problem with doing a few at a time in a large base would mean displaced pilots could find themselves displaced again and again over and over meaning unhappy people not to mention repeated moving fees etc.. for the same pilot. I suspect some kind of LOA for relief on this to domicile protect affected pilots.

This is going to be an interesting scenario to watch. Prior to the contract, pilots would be base protected. With the new contract, I think they could be displaced based on pure seniority.

This question has actually been asked to the higher ups numerous times and the answer has always been the same...vacancy bid and goes by seniority, no "base protection". Sucks for the junior guys in base but that's what they've stated. Seniority rules now at Allegiant, no more side deals.
