BOS - 737 D, 767 I
DCA - S80, 737 D
DFW - S80, 737 D/I, 767 D/I, 320 D/I, 777
LAX - S80, 737 D, 767 D/I, 320 D, 777
LGA - S80 737 D/I, 767 D/I, 320 D, 777
MIA - 737 D/I, 767 D/I, 777
ORD - S80, 737 D/I, 767 D/I, 777
767 D flying being reduced so it's subject to change. Same with S80 flying. Reductions in manning makes it tougher to bid into those seats.

Both bases have had recent recallees getting awarded them. I'd say LAX/ORD would be available within a few months of hiring on - if that trend continues. Keep in mind, Parker has said on multiple occasions that LAX will grow. ORD is kind of in limbo right now, but there is enough movement that creates openings for relatively junior folks on the 737 and -80.
Just as an example, DFW in the past had always taken several months, if not years to get to.... This last new hire class had EVERYONE get assigned DFW -80.
Motto, things change quickly with movement.
Congrats to all those getting the offer!

Since there are still split lists for Domestic vs International flying, how long does it take to be able to get on Intl flying? I presume going to Miami would be the fastest way, since it's quite junior, so how long until one could join the Intl flying list there?

Quickly. Months I guess. My best memories are flying the 75 in the Carib, Central Am., and South America.
We still mix domestic into the Carib lines. SO you might be swimming in Barbados on Tuesday and overnighting in Dallas the next.
As long as you don't get the S80. We do not fly the S80 to MIA.
Say you got the 73 in LGA, you could do a base transfer right away. We have a vacancy run monthly for base and seat. It runs 3 months ahead.
I moved to MIA in 2000. The traffic is bad. The condo associations have too many rules.
When I was based in LAX on the S80 I was bored to tears. LAX-DFW groundhog day. Occasionally LAX-ORD. All layovers were in Omaha at least for me.

To add to what my compadre says above, one of the last Eagle classes had a bunch go straight to MiA 767 Intl. It is a VERY junior bid status that is constantly undermanned. I'd say you could get it within one month.

As a junior reserve you will fly everything from Carib turns to 2/3 day Caribbeans to 3/4 day Deep South to 3 day Europe. Huge variety. Of course as a junior reserve they will also ship you off to LGA, etc to cover other undermanned bases. Overall a great base to be in. MIA 737 Intl is also great (and also very junior.) Mostly Caribbean plus a little Central/S America Lite.
