Can't predict the future, but right now DTW-9 and NYC (all three airports) M-88 are the junior spots.
SEA is almost unattainable. The most junior guy has over 12 years I believe, but we'll see how this next bid changes that.
MSP is a little more senior than DTW, or MEM on the -9 and -88 but there are "new-hires" from 07-08 holding MSP. Same goes for ATL, which is a little more senior now with some wide-body flying being redistributed.
Other bases are SLC, LAX (also covering several airports), and CVG which is slowly shrinking.

It's all shifting around so what's there now may or may not be there in a year. Fwiw

Junior guys will probably go to ATL, DTW, MSP or NYC to start. Definitely DTW or NYC are junior.

There is a bid due out soon that will probably make some changes to this, but this is the current setup. Generally, the bigger or farther west you go, the more senior it gets.
