Just got hired by big d a few weeks ago and expecting indoc in Feb. Probably the happiest dude on earth, next to the other 966 who have won the career lotto in 2014.

Questions for the experienced masses:
I live 45 minutes from DTW, so I'm hoping to select an aircraft that I can hold a line on in DTW quickly. My last 4 SSN is pretty high, so I think I'll have my pick. What aircraft will get me a line number quickest in DTW? Can I hold a 73N / 320 / ER line within the first year? Is there something to be said for snagging a 73N spot and commuting to NYC to hold a decent line earlier?
