The January '19 bids closed on September 5th. On October 5th the February '19 bids will close.
As a new hire, you will bid for a base in indoc, looking at the chart you can see the latest info we have (per the September 4th class) new hires got MCI, IND, PIT, CMH, and EWR.
If you don't get your initial bid in indoc (PHL in your case), you will have to bid in the system wide vacancy with everyone else. For you, if you didn't get PHL initially you could bid in the Nov 5th vacancy, which would be effective March 1, 2019. Does that make more sense?
So for the current junior PHL person:
They were hired on 7/10/2018, presumably bid for PHL and did not get it. They would bid in the August 5 vacancy, effective December 1, but they were denied that too. For the September 5 vacancy, this individual was finally awarded PHL. However they will not move bases until January 1 (4 months after the award).
