737 is my first choice, I’m just trying to decide what my second aircraft choice is in case I don’t get the 737 for some reason. I should be plenty senior enough in class to get it, but I want to be prepared just in case.
As I understand this scenario, you are XYZ 756 FO and you want to swap to ORD 756 FO.
Looks like it has been in the 3-4 month range recently. When you get that far down into the weeds, it's easy for timelines to swing "a lot"
If you luck into a bid being open shortly after hire, the bid could be effective before you ever hit the line.
If there was a bid that closed the week before you start, it could be three months before you bid and you might not get it and it might be another three months before you get a bid that is effective three months after that.
