What's BWI looking like these days in terms of most junior FO hire date?
How about MDW?

A newhire got Midway right out of class as his initial domicile. (Buddy of mine in class right now). Even Orlando went more junior than it has in a very long time.

I've never used PBS before, but friends have. What they all seem to say is that 1) PBS bidding has a HUGE learning curve and mistakes in how you input preferences can hurt you big time. 2) The very senior and very junior seem to like PBS, but the vast majority do not like it. And 3) You can forget about vacation trip touch drops. You'll work right up to your vacation and start right after your vacation.

PBS is a no-go item for me in any TA we may vote on.

For those wondering specifically about MCO...

When I started class on October 7th I was approx 700 away from holding MCO. That number started to slowly tick down until the March vacancy when it dropped from about 590 to about 260. Now the April vacancy shows me about 130 from MCO so stuff is moving really fast right now.

I'm also interested in this very question.

For anyone who has interviewed lately, how long between interview and when your references were called?

I interviewed Jan 7th, references were called between Jan 20th and Jan 27th. Got the CJO on Feb 10th and will be in the March 16th class. I know some guys that interviewed the same day as me who got the CJO two weeks before me and had their references called all in one day around Jan 20th.

Some of us were couple days, others in my interview class were a couple weeks (and got hired). Interview to decision varied as well, from 3-6 weeks.
