Currently the jr mco pilot is 133 numbers senior to the most jr pilot system wide. He got in on his 4'th month of bidding.
I'd say to be safe you can plan on 6 months but you would be able to hold BWI, MDW, or HOU in the meantime which are all a easy 1 leg commute away.

Was super senior when I was hired 14 months ago then for 2 months last spring junior guys were able to get it. I was off reserve in my base and wasn't willing to go back to it so guys junior to me picked it up. Then the door closed for about 8 months, no FO got in with less than a couple years seniority. Last month they added a bunch of slots and junior guys got in again. Will be interesting to see if it shuts off again and stagnates or if some movement continues.

Okay for April NHs got this:
14 got BWI
12 got MDW
29 got OAK
No other bases were awarded to NHs. So as you can see from the original vacancy, where you get based right out of training has a lot to do with luck. More specifically, where the vacancy openings happen to fall for that particular month.
For example, BWI is a senior FO domicile but because there were 11 openings on this vacancy, a bunch of NHs were able to hold it.
14 got BWI
12 got MDW
29 got OAK
