It's why the stock dropped 5% today.

Default Domicile Bidding Question

I am a new hire and I'm looking to bid for a domicile closer to home. There's no way that I will get my home base this junior, however, if I bid for a base closer to home, am I locked into that domicile for any length of time or can I put in a new standing bid the next month?

Sometime during ground they will have you submit a list of domiciles in order of preference. There were several guys in my class who by the time they were finished with IOE, they were awarded their 2nd or 3rd choice and some even their 1st choice.. Good luck & welcome to SKW!

I've always said that we are one new CEO away from disaster.

Funny that there is not mention of it on xjt.com.

Thanks! I already got my initial base. I'm just wondering if I can bid for one closer to home and then switch again when it becomes available? Or is there a domicile lock once you transfer?

There is no domicile lock, you can bid one closer to home after one month.

It's not mentioned on SWOL either... it was sent out as a corporate communication. They said to look for the 'Breaking News' tomorrow.

It says "tomorrow" mostly because those bulletins get sent to managers and above the day before anyone else... As in that one was sent out yesterday...
