They assign seniority based on the last 4 of your SSN. 0001 is good 9999 bad. Bases are assigned in seniority order based on company need. As others have mentioned for the CRJ MSP, IAH, COS and ORD are junior. They tend to award classes towards the end of ground school. The award transfers on a pretty regular basis, so it's possible to transfer to a new base before you even get out on the line. With all the hiring and upgrades going on it shouldn't take too long to get the base you want, as long as it's east of the rockies.
