Sorry it took so long to get the info. As predicted the April vacancy bid really spread out our new folks. Here's the base list from least senior to most senior, the class date of the most junior person and finally how many classes are behind that junior guy. Note: there was a 17 Feb class of 20 folks, but they won't be assigned a base til May so I didn't include them when figuring out the classes behind column.

OAK 3 Feb 03 No classes behind them yet
PHX 15 Jul 02 Classes behind them 2.
HOU 15 Jul 02 Classes behind them 2.
BWI 15 Jul 02 Classes behind them 2.
MDW 27 Mar 02 Classes behind them 4.
MCO 28 Feb 02 Classes behind them 6.
DAL 9 Jun 01 Too many to take the time to figure it out.

Hope this is useful.
 
Sweet!

Vx,
thanks for putting that together! Especially the "classes behind" information - that is very good to know.
 
To put it another way, here's another way of looking at the same info (from my buddy in MDW):

If you were hired in October '01,
1. DAL - Can't hold it yet
2. MCO - You'd be senior to 4% of all the FO's there
3. MDW - You'd be senior to 10% of all FO's there
4. PHX - You'd be senior to 12% of all FO's there
5 and 6 Tied: BWI and HOU: Senior to 13% of FO's in either place
7. OAK - Still Junior after all these years - Senior to a whopping
22% of all FO's there.
