My money would be on DEN being the fastest line for everyone hired in 2016, because that's were 95% of our upgrades will be from, and at worst they want to keep DEN at its current staffing levels. Also since DEN is the biggest base, it has the biggest open time pot. With mid level seniority, you can pretty much just build your own schedule.
Even as a new guy on reserve, I've been able to dictate my own schedule to a large extent. The aggressive reserve bid is icing on the cake to go hit the beach a few days a month. So being in Denver, even at the bottom of the barrel, ain't too bad.
