CastofThousands said:1) A pilot may stay in their initially assigned new hire domicile and upgrade at the first opportunity. The pilot will be awarded the most preferred aircraft their seniority will hold based on their preferred standing bid - fist, second, third, etc.
2) A pilot may transition to a new domicile when an opening at a more preferred domicile is offered in the pilots current fleet and seat.
3) A pilot may "swap" domiciles with any pilot in the same fleet and seat at anytime.
No pilots will incur a restriction on upgrade opportunities based on a domicile assignment whether it be their initial new hire domicile or a domicile a pilot transitions into. The aircraft bids remain system wide bids and will be awarded solely on seniority, regardless of domicile.
I hope this is helpful,
I agree with this, this is how I interpreted the LOA from the beginning.
