There just doesn't seem to be a fair system in place, whether it may be seniority based or another reason, I am in quite a desirable base but want to change for personal reasons and the commute is too much in the summer, I am lucky I am on a 5/4 roster as I feel sorry for some people on the 5/3 in the summe who want to commute.
It would also be nice to have a date when the transfers will be done by, to put people's minds at rest for the time being and also for managements sake to stop people calling up whilst they are trying to sort bases out.
