I meant just JSS for flying rosters.
Fleet/seat changes are done on an annual basis, so there will be no need for you to be worrying about that on day one, but if the bid window is open, you will have access.
Leave bidding is done during certain bid windows. Again, if the window is open, you will have access. The season you first join, the leave bidding process will have taken place long before, so you’ll be outside of the normal bidding process for it. I am not entirely sure how it works, but my guess is it is just allocated. You might be able to express some preference a bit like the training line preferences mentioned above. However no leave is allowed during a course or within its consolidation period (14 days short haul, 21 days long haul).
