As a newhire just plan ewr the rest of the data is kinda not important until they shuffle some seats for the fall. The Fo side of the house has had very little movement since the SLI last September
Example is IAH was shut off to newhires last September. One might be able to expect into another base other than ewr maybe this time next year. But that is based upon how many movements are given this fall. The company has focused on 737 captain training this winter and spring so the guppy really was shut off for movement on FOs.
Example in ewr on the 737 there are easily 100-150 fo's waiting on den sfo ord iAd lax and iah.
My 2 cents

My hope is with the 100 slots on 14-08 bid that they will allow 25 a month to escape. Anything west Midwest south would be great. Otherwise ewr is going to be the spot for awhile as almost 1/3 of Fo 737 are going to be based there.

The problem (for lack of a better adjective) is that if they open up say 100 Denver 737 spots, those go in seniority order. So if you're a new hire in EWR on the 737 there are about 11,900 senior peeps ahead of you that can bid that first. Say, like a bunch of Denver 76T FO's.

Yep the 76T thing is going to have to be worked out before there are slots for Jr people in Denver. Oh yeah and then they are going to get rid of the 320 in DEN as well it might be a while if you are new hire hoping for DEN. It will be interesting however to see how many DEN 76T F/O's would take a 737 F/O slot anywhere. My guess is that some will but the majority will not.
Why bid the 737 if you are local and can sit on the 76T till the end and get a bump? One can always bid 737 FO at that point---but without a freeze. And that's assuming one doesn't use the bump to spring into the LEFT seat of the 737. After all, the entire DEN 76T cadre (CA & FO) is senior to the junior DEN 737 CA.

furloughee (X2) waiting to time my return. Want SFO and the company to straighten the F&^% out. Is that too much to ask? Any guesses on when more west coast will become avail? I understand with 757 drawdown etc it could be awhile.
