As of today the most junior NBCA awarded in this bid will be a 14.3XX number (I'd guessed 15.0XX) which is about an early 2023 hire, probably Jan -Feb 2023. Most junior WBFO will be a 13.2XX number which I'm guessing is a mid 2022 hire. So, about 3 years to NBCA and 3.5 years to WBFO (if you were lucky enough to be hired in the 2022-23 era).

The folks hired between Oct 2023 and March 2024 (the brief window when CA slots were awarded during indoc) hit such a jackpot. Then again, they will be on bottom reserve for a very very very long time...

As for me, I'm just going to enjoy being (approximately) under 30 pct in BES while waiting for next winter's vacancy...
