I don’t have a problem with the idea of it because It’s a one time situation. Rules have been bent and modified.
currency requirements have been slashed
training has been essentially made optional, left up to the local fac
supervisor deviations are suspended
all ncept releases are 12 months
etc.
Allowing people to swap back-and-forth between facilities they haven’t started training at in my opinion will only have a positive affect. It’s not “you get to leave” it’s a “you go and someone comes in to take your place” no net gain or loss.
I say it’s a positive thing because let’s pretend that you have people at say Minneapolis center and Seattle Center. people from the local areas are Places at the opposite facilities they want to me and want to switch To somewhere closer to home but you deny it. Now you train the guy from Seattle and he certifies at Minneapolis center, the first thing he’s going to do is try to bid out anywhere in Seattle. All that training And work put in to someone only for them to want to bounce as soon as possible. and he might be out the door even before you.
but if you’re training someone who actively wants to be at the facility and stay long term, this person is much more likely to stick around I believe, make it worthwhile to bother to train them in the first place rather than to have them try to transfer somewhere else the day they get certified.
yes, it’s not fair for people who graduated the Academy in normal times and didn’t have this option and it would’ve been nice, but this is a unique circumstance and I think in the long run it makes sense to allow people to transfer around provided it’s a one for one swap. putting people where they want to be will encourage longevity at facilities rather than forcing people to be places that they don’t want to be and ultimately wasting everyone’s time Because they won’t stay. A move now prevents moves down the line
