I was in the June 1 class, and there were five weeks until the next class (July 6) started. Our class and the class a week ahead of us all bid together for Aug, and then again for sept... But the July classes will still be in training into sept, so I believe they get the rest of their sept schedules built when they finish, but won't actually bid for bases until October...

I believe that's the case for the rest of the year, 2/month. June was an exception. 2 classes started in July and the 1st class of Aug started yesterday.

September flight schedule is reduced (post summer). Picks back up in October. That's the reason there was a gap in classes.

Looks like they are right on track, 420 on the seniority list for 2016 as of the 03 aug class. Add the 196 left for the year according to the chart and you have 616. Give or take a few that start and leave in the next couple months.

Once you're awarded a domicile, can you get displaced if someone senior to you bids it. Or does the senior person have to wait until a new spot is added?

The only way you can be displaced is if a domicile shrinks and you are now too junior to hold it in the new bid. If both those things happen, you can get displaced. The rub is, there is no right of return so it can potentially be years before you get back.
You won't get displaced if the domicile doesn't shrink, even if someone senior tries to bid in.
