Any of you guys know if you can change your bid as furlough for your desired base? Here's my hypothetical scenario;
I'm way down on the list for recalls and should the recall day come I would like to go to the DTW base (I'm currently a CVG furlough) following retraining.
If for some bizarre reason both bases are available (for my seniority level) I want to ensure I get DTW from the get go. Additionally, I don't want to be responsible for housing while in retaining and not get per diem because I'm 'home-based'.

Contract says you will go back to the base you were furloughed from. So on the company behalf you are screwed per diem and housing.

Depends on the bids. If enough people transfer over to DTW you might see some recalls get assigned CVG. I dont know anything reassuring that will get you DTW base after being recalled.

I can almost see it being managable if you only have to do a few weeks of retraining. What if you are in the group that is going to have to retake the entire 2 month training class? Do they really expect people that were furloughed do cough up that kind of money when they very well could have not had a job for a year and a half?

People that are getting recalled right now shouldn't even mess with their standing bid, because I believe a lot of current folks want to go back to CVG and you want to get displaced to DTW to get the moving expenses and moving days.
FAIL!

I do think that DTW will be like JFK in regards to seniority.
