COS is really junior... still trying to see how junior MKE will go.

The majority of the class in late January went to SLC and ORD. Only a couple went to Denver

Some get it right out of training... if not within a month usually.

BTW these are all estimates for the CRJ, on the BRO DEN is SENIOR, PSP or FAT the Jr bases.

I stand corrected... been out of the class room for 4 months, shows you how fast things change (no one in my new hire class got SLC, was about a 4 month wait).

It changes constantly. For our CRJ class last year, ORD and FAT were the most junior. A lot of us went to SLC, and there were quite a few to Denver. I think for a while there was a wait for ORD, but I really have no idea what's happening now.

As an FO, there aren't many bases that you won't be able to hold in a couple of months--the exceptions are PSP, SBA, LAX, SFO, and SMF. TUS is probably next most senior, but people are holding it a month off of IOE now. I don't know where the rest currently stand, but I think people are moving pretty quicky between SLC, COS, DEN, and ORD. All this could completely change as upgrades speed up and slow down.

Base awards right out of training vary wildly. 2 classes before mine the majority got ORD. The class before mostly got DEN. My class mostly got SLC, even though the majority wanted ORD. You can realistically transfer to SLC, DEN, ORD, or COS within a couple months.
