All bases for a FO are attainable within a few months. PHL is definitely the junior base though. Denver by far the most senior. LAS, MCO, and ORD are pretty similar seniority wise.
Denver may be senior on the Captain side, but it seems really junior on the FO side now. My entire class minus a couple got Denver.
