You can bid whatever you can hold whenever there is vacancy bid.
It usually takes a day or two of indoc for the new hires to get setup in the computer system and vacancy bids are only released on an "as required" basis. After that, it's all by seniority.
Within the past year we have had vacancy bids close (coincidently) on the first day or two of indoc and the new-hire department has been able to get the new hires included.
But just for perspective, a new hire is literally at the bottom of a ~13000 pilot list and any new-hire assignments are what he other 13,000 have passed. Ditto for any other openings in any other bases/seats.

All depends on vacancy bids. Could be during indoc. or could be 6 months. Either way, it's highly doubtful you'll be there long. You can always attempt a base trade too. For reference, it took me 15 months to get to ORD. Guys hired 2 years before me managed to get it out of initial. YMMV

Anyone recall what the rough drops were for the July 15 and 29th classes? Wondering if there were any 737s or if the pipeline had shut off already.
