Consolidation is exactly the reason. It can be a pain for junior pilots in domiciles where lots of newhires are sent as it takes lines away.

First month is wherever you want for OE. As stated before.

Usually before you leave Dallas, there's a vacancy with numbers that the company chooses (per base). Within your class, based on DOB, the class bids for those openings. Obviously behind everyone already on the seniority list. So you're getting what's left over.

You select your bases in order you like them, and you get what you can hold. You can update your list whenever you'd like.

www.myseniority.com was updated with the latest vacancy bid as a of 04/30.

New pilots: that website is a great tool to see what domiciles you can hold, or how far out you are from holding the one that you might want. You won’t find yourself on there until the first month that you participate in a vacancy bid.

SWAPA schedule research projections are showing Zaps class for upgrades in the July vacancy. Sounds like some post picket BBQ might be in order.

Still shows it going senior to me. I get at least a one month reprieve. Gotta admit i'm really surprised that it's going that junior though.

Looks like a lucky new hire will get MCO.

I’m guessing many are holding out for one more vacation. That and it’s OAK.

On the SWAPA site.
1. Click RESOURCES
2. Click SRC tools
3. Click VACANCY PROJECTION
4. Click GET REPORT

Second column from the right shows the approximate seniority number that will be awarded based on what everyone currently has in their vacancy bid.

So for example is BWI says 727X it means that someone from seniority number 7270-7279 will be awarded the bid (if nobody changes their bid before it closes)
