your SWOL will update a day or two into INDOC.

probably not - you need to be at 75% of active bidders per PBS and not based on pilots in base per SWOL. Junior bases have a lot of folks that are not qualified yet (no IOE etc). So they cannot bid.

I should have clarified, I'm referring to the onboarding tasks found in SWOL that need to be completed prior to indoc.

That can depend though, I've seen occurrences where the guaranteed lineholders number is actually equal to or greater than the number of bidders. That often leaves newhires finishing training with pairings getting assigned instead of reserve. It's pure luck and timing though.

Correct. As an ORD CRJ FO senior to you, I'm in the 190s of 330 or so on the SWOL Seniority list but in PBS I'm bidding 90% or 15 folks from the bottom in Nov. I've expected to get more folks underneath me in Oct/Nov as people finished IOE but they seem to bid out to other bases quickly. I live in base and bid reserve for preferred days off (managed to get Thanksgiving off), although the holidays seem to be a bit screwy as normal line holders bid reserve to get the days they want off.
