Well if you would've started a month ago, Chicago was easily the most junior base, but they've been doing some recruiting out here, lots of Mesa/TSA/Eagle pilots coming over, so ORD is a little more popular. I just looked at the standing bids for F/O's to transfer into chicago and there are 13 bids to get in. Amazingly 12 of those are junior to me, and I've only been here since August. In my class 13 people wanted wanted ORD. 9 people got it right away, the other 4 got it before they were done with training. But back then there was only one standing bid to get in. Now there's 13, so you MIGHT have to wait a couple months to get it. The base you get out off training is kinda funny, because a few months ago the most senior person in our class bid SLC and couldn't get it. Now it seems like everyone they hire is getting SLC. So who knows. If you want ORD, DEN, SLC, FAT, or COS they are all going relatively junior. Again, you might wait a month or two, but it shouldn't be too bad.
