At the moment SYD and MEL are the junior bases. Everyone gets dumped there and people try to bid out for other bases. They’re also most junior for command and MEL is the junior wide body base by far.
Even if that changes slightly, I don’t think it would be too hard to bid for a Sydney FO slot, it will always be low if it isn’t the bottom. Having said that, they might give you melbourne and you have to bid for Sydney and it may take anywhere upto 12 months to get a transfer.
