Was it an ‘up down’ or would you have to bid to make the move?

ORD was an up/down when I originally bid there, but separate facilities when I actually arrived. I was assigned to the tower, which was my preference anyway.
However, after the strike, the distinction between the two facilities was pretty much ignored-- you went where you were needed. Since I had radar experience, I was drafted to the tracon. Worked both up-and-down for awhile (the last ORD controller to do so), then ended up in the tracon full time for six years. Escaped back to the tower by accepting a supervisor job, which I gave back after a year.
