Vacancy Bidding Block Question
I'm pretty sure I know the answer, (having read the contract) but just to be sure:
If I leave 756FO to bid 320FO, am I stuck in place for two years? (Unless of course I can bid left seat on anything.)
Thanks for the answers!

The OLD contract stated that you could bid up to Captain at any time, but this one, no.

Yeah, that's how I read it.
I've got to look at the bid packets and see what sort of flying I'm in for, but I'm ready for a challenge and the opportunity to learn something new. The 787 looks fun, but I do not like being the bunkie at all. With the Airbus, I'd be gaining about 25-30% seniority in base.

"You can't even bid left seat. You are seat locked for 2 years if you bid the same or lower pay band."
Are you saying that if I am a Newark Airbus FO for a couple years then bid Houston Airbus FO I can't bid up to the triple FO for two years???
