"junior" bases shift around as the company sends new-hire classes in large groups to various bases. I wouldn't read into the numbers too much. Last year, DCA was more on the senior side. But, if you do not get it right out of training, it is likely you can get it soon after.

Gotta pm about this. Just want to point out that this, while helpful, doesn't mention base swaps or changes.

Every month you can request a base move or swap, which is an early move.. There needs to be an opening - you can't push someone out of a base.

And we bid moves 4 months out - which is a really long time imo

Looking back from December thru April, there were zero base swaps awarded. Hope that added info seems helpful.
