Doubtful but stranger things have happened. The 737's are a common category -700's, 800's, and 900's. All operate out of the 737 Domiciles which are currently:
NYC
ATL
CVG
DTW
SLC
LAX
With that said there is always the low level rumor of a future west coast NB domicile. SEA and LAX are both currently gate limited for DAL so who knows? And also if there is a NB base out here it might also be the 717.
Best strategy at the current time is get on the 757/767 and hope the movement kicks in as expected. Could be less than a year if you are lucky but will probably be closer to two. It has taken some guys 5-6 years to get to the west coast but that was when we would go years without hiring. If the movement is as quick as some say I would say around a year to SEA on the 757/767.

Hypothetically speaking, if one were to be awarded the ER as a new hire and was unfortunate enough to be displaced - do you bid on a vacancy in an AE or do they force your hand to wherever they want you?
Sorry if this has been covered before. Thanks in advance.

You get to bid whatever you can hold, vancacy or not, no freeze, and a paid move if you want IAW the semi-complex provisions that are too cumbersome to attempt to post. Plus you get reinstatement rights that can help you get back to where you were displaced from "ahead" of others in some cases (not really ahead of anyone, since you already had it at one time). Over all not a bad deal if it has to happen.
