On a totally separate note, I'd like the airbus NYC. I notice its gaining popularity. As a junior guy in my class of 50, should I expect that it wont even be available for me to select?
It'll be different strokes for different folks determining what guys want at your base. Bid for aircraft that are at your desired base first (with the original base of assignment as a secondary consideration) with where you are in the flow of new guys, I'd be willing to bet you ca bid NYC while you are in indoc/training.
