It means all available slots can go to that base. Often times they'll limit the number of newhires that can go to a base.

The company basically allowed people to upgrade wherever they want as NB and specifically 737 CA is the limiting factor right now.
They just force new hire FOs to wherever they are needed to balance things out.

We have a Covid LOA and seat lock time has changed. It's actually a 3 year seat lock if you stay in the same base. 2 years if you transfer to different base and no seat lock if go to a newly opened base within 6 months of its opening.

They cannot force CA upgrades but they can force new hire FOs into certain bases / equipment.

Yep. I have to laugh at all of these posts asking about QOL in a particular base or "when can I hold a WB line", or "I have multiple CJOs", etc. Damn, us old dinosaurs where thrilled to get a job offer from ANY legacy carrier flying narrow bodies out of BFE back in the day! I'm glad things have turned around but I also hope that everyone is in their happy place when the music stops because, rest assured, it will.

In reference to new hire drops, you could have 10 positions with 5 in DEN and 5 in EWR or you could have 10 with 2 in DEN and unlimited (ie everyone) in EWR

What i meant in my post is the company will set the bids up such that anyone who bids 737 captain in a hub will get it.

so basically from this post from before for ex. "20x A320 (DEN max of 2; DCA max of 16; LAX max of 13; EWR/IAH/ORD/SFO unlimited)" theoretially it could have been all 20 in SFO if the whole class picked that?

While the airbus is a great airplane, the trips suck. ESPECIALLY out of SFO. Enjoy doing red eyes and hub turns out of ORD with prime layover destinations such as BUF or SYR. Not sure who is doing the west coast flying but it’s definitely not that airplane/base. The fleet will also grow at a snails pace compared to the guppy, with the first batch of NEOs delayed until September now and the XLR is hasn’t been approved yet.
