Any advice would be appreciated. I assume the first goal is to be in the 700/900 out of training.

We can pretty much guarantee cvg will be fairly senior, so as a new hire you will lucky to see it within 2 years. All the senior guys commuting from Msp and Dtw will jump at cvg. Then all the guys like you will be bidding it as well.
I'm guessing captains don't go past a #700 for a year. FOs #1500.
Enjoy NYC with a potential to ATL in a year.

Could favor NH who wants Dtw since that's a quick easy commute for myself. Yes I'm prepared for NYC.. 12 fights a day to lga vs 6 to dtw.. Just assumed if people leave dtw reserve wouldn't be that bad especially with the idea of growth at dtw(?)
But we all know what happens when you assume

Not to mention, some may hold off on bidding it for this vacancy just to see how junior it is or isn’t.

Ya know when ATL opened up I thought it would go more senior than granny’s favorite shoes, but initially it didn’t. If it’s not absolutely a no brainer a lot of folks will hold off to see how things pan out.
And of course for you new guys, once you hold a base, you can’t be forced out on a vacancy. Different story for a realignment and ect of course.
So, new guys bid it early if you really want it, you can even bid a new base in training, as long as your not changing seats or equipment you can have any base you can hold at your seniority.
As well, I’m not at all convinced CVG will be all that senior, it’ll certainly go junior to MSP, and likely DTW & ATL. Depends on what sort of flying gets added. If DAL wants CVG to get back a bit of its former glory we could see a fair amount of new flying added next year.
