I haven’t seen that on the initial drops. One could hold IAH by the end of training?

Yes, eventually there will be a vacancy bid and you’ll get base you want. Careful what you wish for though. Expectations may not match up with reality. 756 in IAH for a new hire means double redeye, bunkie to deep SA. Always, all the time and every trip. Lived it, not fun.

How long to hold a line in CLE? Also, how long to upgrade in CLE? Does CLE have both the 73 and 320?

Only 737. Most senior for upgrade, be a while. Lots of captains commute to ORD. Not sure on FO line

Gline this month was a spring 2018 hire. I don't think that is normal but nothing lately is normal as in unfilled CA and WB FO seats.

Sorry for my lack of united knowledge, what is a Gline? Also, is the commuter policy 2 flights ahead on company metal?

The gline is the cut line between those guaranteed a line and reserve. The commuter policy is 2 flights on any airline.

Expect this to continue each week for a long time with 500 planes on order. Anybody could have picked 777 FO since it went to the bottom.

Just out of pure curiosity...for those that get stuck with/select the 77 or 78 and stay with it for their careers, how long would it be until they find themselves in the left seat?
