This is the rundown for January 2008:
Base / Junior FO DOH
DEN / 6-18-07
PIT / 6-27-07
DCA / 10-29-07
PHL / 10-29-07
IND / 10-29-07

That make Denver the most senior FO base for January, followed closely by PIT

PIT isn't that senior. There are July 07 and Aug 07 hires in PIT right now. Of course they are all on reserve still while you could hold a line at any of the other Airways bases.

My mistake, I just rechecked and apparently I misread the 8 as a 6 on the bid sheet.

The most junior FO in PIT for JAN 2008 had a DOH of 8-27-07. Regardless, it is still the second most senior FO base. (original post edited for accuracy)

KA,
can you list other bases and the DOHs ? I am curious about DEN/ORD as I live on the Left Coast.

Thanks...

So, it looks like DCA is pretty junior on S5 market. Are the trips commutable? How about reserve?

DCA is not an S5 base, its an RW base. I'd guess 2-3 months at DCA for reserve. PHL, DCA, PIT, IND, DEN, and (soon to be) CMH are the RW bases. ATL, ORD, IND, and CMH are the S5 bases.

Reserve would be 0-1 months at PHL or CMH right now. PHL will probably be staffed in the next 3 months and except for the top 5 or so, its pretty junior. At least through 20 are staying put till upgrade most likely, so it'll probably stagnate in the next 3-6 months. CMH is going to be the place to be if you want to get high up the FO list quickly since no one seems to want to go there.
