There is actually a lot of info available in the "New Hire Class Drops" thread. But with monthly vacancy bids (Called "Advanced Entitlement", or AE), nearly every new hire has been able to switch bases within a month or two. I would expect that to continue. Obviously, be careful with the 220 and 717, as there are only a couple base options for them.
That said, NYC is easily our most junior base.

These days "junior" means can you get it as a new hire or at least within the first year?
Short answer? Yes NYC is the "most junior" but new hires can and sometimes do get almost every base depending on when they're hired either first assignment or within a year. Always within 2 as far as I'm aware.

These days there's almost no such thing as a "senior base" compared to not that long ago. For a while it took years to hold the plug in SEA, LAX and even MSP. ATL was even hard to get for years in some narrow body categories.

SEA and LAX are extremely junior now. Pretty much everywhere is. At least to get in. Building your seniority to 50% is a different story. Now you’ll pretty much get whatever narrowbody base you want in 1 or 2 months of this new bidding system. No stopping that until hiring slows and growth slows or retirements stop.

While true, some bases you will progress upward more rapidly. You may be able to hold it, but you may move much slowly through the list. That being said driving to work is always a win.
