One of y’all may be able to answer this or have more insight than myself, I’m currently ORD 175 based (FO) if I’m awarded the displacement to DFW how long would that transition process usually take?

Vary is defined as 1-7 months. To get a better picture get the seniority list of the DFW 175 and estimate how many guys are going to be upgrading. Also look at the flow plan and see how many guys are coming on as 175 ORD guys. This is a lot of work but that's the only way you will get a good idea of the timeline.

A friendly reminder to double check your 3* in the next few hours before the vacancy closes...

It may be time to go deeper into defensive upgrade strategy discussion. If Envoy employs a monthly vacancy bid program, what will work best to avoid an upgrade?

Pedro- I remember your comment that included an idea for FO’s on the verge of upgrade to displace to indefinite displacement? In other words you never start class... just bounce back and forth?

It will be posted on the flight bid and crew info page. Also, the union usually sends it out via e-mail and posts it on the ALPA website. I’m guessing it will be out in the next couple hours.
