As a potential 12/28 new hire, how will the bid run for DFW opening in May? I’d venture to guess IOE for that class will be in Mar/Apr. If DFW goes junior, could a new hire have a chance to bid for and hold it off IOE?

Doubt it but it is possible. Shouldn’t take too long though

It will probably be in the system bid around march/april and you will likely be able to hold it as an FO within 4 months for sure. which is around IOE completion. If you cant hold it by then, within 6 months which isn't bad at all. DFW will likely get most of the commuters from ATL/MCO/PHL/LAS that live in the more central US going there, so there is no telling what it will do. It could realistically end up being the most senior behind DEN, especially with such an easy commute from DEN itself.

It is interesting however how many times we've thought a base would go "more senior" and then it really didn't.
TPA and PHX both went less senior than I thought. At least thus far..... we will see about DFW but I bet it doesn't go as senior as some might think

I don't know how difficult it really is with 2 jumpseats? I've done plenty of DFW-DEN legs with open jumpseats.

Not sure how many pilots live in the DFW area. But I am sure they are very happy either way.
