Just curious, It sounds like you are saying you are able to change your domicile frequently. Are you not locked for some period of time or can you move about freely?

As canyon blue said you are not locked in to a base, if there is a vacancy bid and you seniority allows you can move. The only lock in that SWA has is into a Capt seat. That lock in is for 4 months, but it is not domicile specific.

The February bid had new hires going to OAK, MDW, BWI, MCO, and one to PHX. Put another way, the senior guy coming online in February had his choice of five of the seven domiciles so it looks like seniority at the bottom has evened out some.

If you upgrade to captain why would you need to be seat locked? SWA still only has one aircraft type, right?:erm:
Thanks

You are locked into the Capt seat for 4 months after upgrade. SWA doesn't want to have someone go through upgrade and then bid back to F/O. If you upgrade as a Lance (an F/O who can pick up and fly Capt trips) the there is no lock.
