Spot on. If you asked this q 5 months ago, everyone would say CAE and MKE for foreseeable future for “what base will I get”. With Short reserve times in both. Maybe off reserve before you are off IOE. 6-12 months to even hold junior reserve in ORD. 12-15 for IAD.
Now none of that is true. Two bids in row all 4 bases held by new hires.
Guys that 3 months ago got displaced from ord res to CAE res/line holder on the FO side are now holding lines in ord in Jan/feb.
There are guys awarded ord res who on feb bid are still in training and can’t even bid. Haven’t had that since before mke opened.
All I can say is it’s trending shorter in all bases. Cae, mke, ord and iad in that order from shortest to longest.
