I am surprised how relatively short the base transfer list is, so must assume that the vast majority get their first base preference on joining, or within a year or so. perhaps a lot of the Airbus pilots in BHX and MAN are either happy there, or waiting for more deliveries to arrive at other bases before making their request. EDI is the next base for Airbus I believe.
Yes they actively want to get you into your preferred base, unlike some of the competitors.
Majority of people get their chosen base within a year if its not available straight away, although a big influx of ex Flybe has seen a big queue for Belfast
