Some of the 747 new hires have been able to bid out of ANC to CVG and HSV by the time they finish simulators and before OE.

But really, what does it matter? With the exception of bidding out of ANC to avoid a long commute, you'd be better off bidding the most junior base (CVG) to maximize you bidding power.
