190 in BOS has a lot of vacancies for newhires. JFK 190 has some as well.

So you could get hired in July, bid for FLL in the August bid, and get awarded it in December of next year.

Hypothetically I get awarded BOS, and then decide I want to stay in BOS and buy a house. I no longer want NYC.
Then, three months later I get awarded NYC because it is first in my preference order.
Is this possible? I assume not. There must be a way to withdraw or re order your bid preference.
