Tomorrow, class 3 of 7 are starting but of the 1st two classes that are already assigned bases, everyone has been assigned SFO except for 1 person. The most junior LAX guy is a July 17th hire. However there is another bid due at the end of this month and it is effective Dec. Im sure people will be getting LAX if they wanted it then.

My class of 6 all just got SFO (2 wanted LAX). But there's a bid coming up so they can go to LAX if it's available.

You should be able to hold LAX rather quickly out of training. If not right away, within a few months at least at the current rate.

Of course it is subject to change without notice. Mileage may vary. Objects in mirror are closer than they appear. Et cetera and so on and so forth...

+1

Now with 3 fully established bases, there will be quarterly airport bids so you have a chance to move around (pending movement available).

Last 2 classes that were scheduled for the year have been canceled. I don't think they were even filled yet. FYI
