You can still bid for it and you may be awarded a secondary vacancy

Off topic question but what is the company policy for flight instruction on days off?

With chief pilot approval you can do it. Just remember dual given hours count toward your 117 cumulative flight time for the month and year.

That goes for any commercial flying too.

How does a vacancy bid work? Do you switch bases right away or do you have to wait a few months? How often do they go out? If I start class in June and I get assigned LGA or JFK 200, is it likely that I can get over to DTW before IOE?

I remember seeing an interpretation that those rules only applied to time under commercial operators (121/135/91K). Is that a company policy?

There's an interpretation that says the opposite...

I was told by the CP that my instruction hours count towards 117. I don't instruct enough for it to matter anyways but I might bring it up in the next probationary meeting.

When the Final award is posted it will give your class/move date. Lately there has been a new vacancy every 3 months on average. So if you are starting in June you will probably be able to bid again in July or August with a move date of September or October. Hope that helps!

Company policy is still that one needs approval, but it doesn't seem to be one that's grounded in the FARs. Perhaps a holdover from the pre-117 days where it did count against cumulative time.
