Latest update indicated newhire 756 positions could start up again in June. Current unfilled 756 vacancies are in EWR & SFO.
Choose wisely and welcome aboard.
On the 320 locations - I doubt there will be any EWR 320s (currently shrinking the 320 flying there); not sure that there will be any DCA 320s either from looking at 1605V.
The biggest trend that I'm seeing is that LAX and especially SFO are going very junior. Newhires can expect the bulk of initial assignments to be west coast 737s although there should be a reasonable number of EWR 737s. Not to worry, you should be able to lateral eastward fairly quickly.
Bottom line: if you're young (class picks are based on age), expect a SFO 737 or 320.
