Denver weather is great….housing prices suck for those wanting to move in though. From DEN, every base except ATL, MCO and BWI are 2-2.5 hrs away and it’s a popular tourist destination year round (if you like being outdoors).
lol good one

Hires from Dec ‘21 to present have made it to OAK, PHX, LAX, LAS, MDW, DEN, and BWI. I suspect newhires will make it into DAL, HOU in the next two months. MCO and ATL maybe by August or September.

Yesterday's vacancy, which is for the May bid, had 15 go to LAX and 30 go to OAK.

Maybe I’ve missed this but haven’t found any answers on this so far.

ETOPS “base lock” is 6 months, correct? As a new hire, is it is possible to get stuck in an ETOPS slot and thus be base locked for 6 months?

It is possible, but if you set all ETOPS bases as your last choice, you will not be subject to a lock.

And it's six "bid periods" not six months. A bid is expected every month for the foreseeable future, but if the music stops, so could the bids.

This is not accurate. A bid period is defined as a month and refers to monthly line bids. See definitions section of the contract.

The 6 month lock is for 6 months.

Wrong. Proximity is right. You're talking about monthly line bidding. He's talking about vacancy bidding. Monthly bidding decides your schedule for the next month and it has to be bid on every month. Vacancy bidding is your base preference. Recall that not long ago, the company skipped on vacancy bidding for whatever reason.
