Current reserve times / base assignments

Any updates on current PSA reserve times, and/or junior base assignments? Thanks in advance!

Seeing lots of new hires going to DCA and PHL. Reserve times about a year just about everywhere.

Reserve has gotten very long here. Roughly 1 year for new FOs and around 3 years (give or take a few months) to hold a line as a CA. Reserve times for CA are going up it seems like.

Not so much reserve times are going up as seniority times are going up.

Lotta people were hired in 2016. 100 new captains on R1 doesn't cover nearly as many months of hiring as it used to.

2016 was relatively a small hiring year until the October/November time then the big hiring wave really started.

Does anyone have any updates for FO reserve time/base assignments? Also, what is it looking like to get a class date? With the pay raise is PSA still in need of pilots, or are there a lot of applicants?
