Um, no, you haven't.
The most junior FO in SFO has more than a year and 2 months seniority. He got awarded the base in November. There has been nobody junior to him make it in. Also, the list to get in is LONG.
It's a 58CA/58FO base. Over 70 people want in. Do the math, and in those 70, 7 or 8 are senior to me, and I'm 1year, 3 months.

To any new hire into the jet, DO NOT PLAN for PDX, SEA, SFO, LAX.
PDX and SEA will take years. I was in the 1st new hire class we had last year, and I'm nowhere near it. (don't want it, but just saying I can't hold it, or come anywhere near).
SFO, LAX (jet) are at least 2+ years from hire at this point. They are small bases, and when someone gets in, it's where they want, and they stay. There's very little movement, unless it's for upgrade.

Plan MSP and IAH in your 1st year. Any other bases might happen, but those are the only 2 guarantees. But unless you go into the Bro, the west coast bases are just not happening.
