Also, I was able to glance at the A300 July bidpack, and noticed lots of trips with DDH's and long IND layovers. Does anyone know how senior these trips go? I'm not starting class for another couple months, but I am trying to figure out what would provide the best QOL (time home), and a rough ball park expectation on how long it will take to get there. Months, years, decades? The A300 IND layovers look pretty enticing as I could drive home and spend the day with fam, sleep in my own bed, then drive back to IND. Any other airframes have schedules like this? I know the likelihood on an Airbus out of training is slim for me (SSN starts with 0).

I appreciate the help and can't wait to get started!
No seat lock and quick seniority on the 75. Could probably hold DH trips fairly quickly and then bid to whatever plane/base works best for you come the next system bid. If there are 76 IND vacancies on the next bid (which I imagine there will be), it would be a short/quick Differences training cycle.
