Junior Lines & Base Assignments
The line question seems to come up a lot so I thought I'd make this little table indicating how long each base takes to hold a line (as of October 2018).
SAP = Schedule Adjustment Period, lineholders get 2 rounds of add/drop/swap opportunities, after that, the leftover trips are built into lines (if able) and given to those that did not receive a line in the initial run of bids.
Post-SAP lines are not broken down by composite vs full line, simply shows if someone got at least 1 trip after SAP.
The original base thread has also gotten way off topic and hasn't been updated in months so I thought I'd take a stab at that too.

CA base seniority
It's not quite that easy once you upgrade. I've got a table of my own going to keep an eye on the trends for CA bases.
Least senior to most senior CA bases and the span of the bottom 10 DOHs...
EWR: 12/15 to 9/15
LGA: 12/15 to 6/15
PIT: 7/15 to 6/14
DCA: 4/15 to 10/14
CMH: 3/15 to 9/14
MIA: 3/15 to 3/13
PHL: 12/14 to 9/13
IND: 10/14 to 1/14
MCI: 5/14 to 3/11
IAH: 11/13 to 3/07
ORD: 11/13 to 6/07

As a new hire, you will bid for a base in indoc, looking at the chart you can see the latest info we have (per the September 4th class) new hires got MCI, IND, PIT, CMH, and EWR.
If you don't get your initial bid in indoc (PHL in your case), you will have to bid in the system wide vacancy with everyone else. For you, if you didn't get PHL initially you could bid in the Nov 5th vacancy, which would be effective March 1, 2019. Does that make more sense?
So for the current junior PHL person:
They were hired on 7/10/2018, presumably bid for PHL and did not get it. They would bid in the August 5 vacancy, effective December 1, but they were denied that too. For the September 5 vacancy, this individual was finally awarded PHL. However they will not move bases until January 1 (4 months after the award).

The September vacancy had an unusual amount of FO vacancies posted (over 100), no doubt because of the large number of people in training. There were vacancies posted for (I think) every base, EWR trumped every other base with 35 vacancies posted. The awards didn't fill anywhere near 35 spots in EWR so they filled the rest of those vacancies with new hires.
