Timing is everything...

Class of May 03
9 months of OAK with only 6 below me (STS) all 4 day weekend reserve.
4 months of BWI reserve and blank lines,
finally to MCO in 14 months and life is very...very good (ELITT rocks)!

I would list junior FO seniority as:
DAL
MCO
HOU
PHX
MDW/BWI
OAK

No matter the growth in BWI and MDW in the last 2 years, it seems to be very good odds to have do to some time in OAK. Just hope you have a few classes behind you to fill in, and you should be able to get almost anywhere in 3 months.

Cheers!

How long would it take to hold a line in PHX?

It depends on what the hiring is like behind you, but no more that 4 classes for reserve ... maybe 10 or so for a hard line.
 
It depends on where SWA deploys the 34 aircraft next year. When the Northeast was getting them, it was easy to go from OAK to BWI in 2 months of hiring. When MDW added gates new hires temporarily got MDW.

OAK most junior, usually. Next is BWI and MDW. HOU after that. PHX next. Often it is easier to get PHX ahead of HOU. It Usually 1 or 2 months to go from a junior base to a more senior base

With the New Orleans thing HOU may have reduced lines. Or it may be a different base. The schedule is being redone now.
