7 MD80 FLL
6 MD80 LAS
1 MD80 ENV
2 MD80 OAK

Junior bases are Florida but some May 2014 newhires have been awarded OAK and LAS. You will go to PIE, SFB, or IWA if you get awarded airbus. Those are the only airbus bases right now.

The way we are hiring right now (depending on what base you go to) you probably won't be on reserve for long. That being said..... you will probably have a mixed line until we get a contract. I'm pretty senior and had reserve thrown on my line this month.

PGD is junior on the captain and f/o side.

8 airbus coming in 2015 and 12 or so more in 2018. That is subject to change.

Moving your days is almost impossible right now since we are understaffed.
Thank You for all that info. Do you know by any chance if new hires are given a choice of the aircraft? Also, where is the training conducted?
