eJ allocate base placements based on a forecast or actual requirement in that base, for that rank. They don’t have to offer anyone any particular base and that’s part of the contract.
I experienced this first hand when I requested to do a season in PMI. I was told that I couldn’t apply because the planned start date was about a week after the original date for brexit, and they couldn’t plan a whole summer roster on the assumption I’d be allowed to move because if we’d had a hard brexit I may not have been able to then move to Spain, leaving them short. A kick in the teeth when brexit was delayed but that’s life, sadly.
