Does anybody know how quickly you can bid in a vacancy bid during training? I'm in the July 11 class and hoping to bid out of NYC and into DTW before finishing sims. I'm going to be dead last in my class, so I'm expecting LGA or JFK 200.

AFAIK LGA is the only 200 base opening up in Aug/Sep. When you attend indoc you will get to rank your initial base and equipment preferences. That is not a guarantee and they could just as easily shove everyone into the 200 at DTW. During your first week you will get access to the System Vacancy Preference Bid system. This will allow you to bid your base, seat, and equipment preference for when the System Vacancy comes out. The Vacancy notices come out around every 2 months right now. They just finished one so there will probably be a notice coming out in June/July.
I'd place your odds around 50/50 of being able to swap bases depending on what equipment you fly. BUT the slots are pretty dynamic right now so things will change in the next 2 months. No one got MSP in the last two classes so it's senior at the moment. DTW 200 is a quick fill right now and I imagine LGA 200 will be as well. JFK 900 will probably go senior as the flying ramps up. Just a guess from an April 25th hire who finished ground school today
