The next class is May 5th.
Not too sure about which base to pick for reserve, but it seems IAD may be growing so that may be a good bet. The June bid had a vacancy for 6 FO's.
Yeah your right about the LOA still having the new car smell, so it would be reasonable to say the May class and on will be the true test for the LOA.
IAD does seem like the growing base as you have said which would bode well for lower reserve time (all things going as planned) but it's a pain in the a$$ to commute to from PHX. I think just one flight a day to and from where as EWR has 8 or so a day to and from. But that's commuting for ya, sucks anyway you slice it (at least you get a hotel 4 times a month)
