Time to hold a line at BWI is tuff. They keep putting new hires there which takes away from available lines each month. I was 100 from the bottom and barely got a blank line month after month. I moved bases and lost senority but was able to control my schedule much better since I wasn't at the bottom of blank lines.
Until they stop staffing BWI with newbies then it will be a real long time to hold a line. A year to hold blank.

What’s the chances of a new hire getting DEN.

Pretty slim of getting it right away, but pretty good of getting it after a month of 2 in OAK or BWI.

Running about 4-6 months seniority for DEN. Good news is on the Jan bid they’re adding 8 FO’s so in reality probably 10-15 will be coming in as people move around/upgrade.

What’s your best guess to hold a line (open or better) for a new hire at BWI?

Just finishing year one (today in fact). Blank line territory in August, hard line in November. YMMV

Copy. Thanks!

Did you ever think about bidding a different base (commute for a bit...say MDW) to wait it out?
