How soon are you able to change your base after initial assignment?
Could a new hire this summer reasonably expect DFW within the first few months? I know that all the new flight attendant classes are for DFW only but I assume pilot staffing is a different story.
I think there's only been one bid on DFW. Senior people tend to have a wait and see, so it's almost impossible to predict how senior it will go, but overall on the FO side, things keep moving and anything is attainable fairly quickly.
