I believe the last vacancy bid that closed allowed folks with under a year to get a bid to both 737 and A320. The ones to the A320 were junior enough to where they might even be activated into the assignment with less than a year on the property.

Now, that was on the last big bid to finish the staffing for the summer of 2019 and included the opening of the DEN 787 domicile. So, that had some pretty big movement in Denver.

With the airline growing a net 31 aircraft in 2019, I would figure that the similar bid next winter (for the summer of 2020) will likely allow very junior folks to get to Den.

Ironically, moons ago, I got "forced" into DEN as a new hire on the 727 Panel. Of course, I was able to trade that assignment with somebody in the class ahead of me (before I finished my 1st week of indoc). Maybe by the Winter/Spring of 2020 we will be back sending new hires there.
