Same as your job, except the company buys you a ticket
-Most senior and most junior base.
Doesn't matter - It'll be different by the time you're on property, even if that's this summer
-Likely hood of getting JFK as a base.
Very good. As soon as your seniority allows and there is a vacancy.

protip 1: Bases are way less important than % seniority in base
protip 2: Nothing is spoonfed here. It can drive you insane, but your ability to survive this job (in a practical real-life dropped off in a country who's language you don't speak and you have no visa way; as well as systemic weaknesses from outside factors (worldwide flying with a dynamic environment of 'rules' and lack of support from a financial building on the northside of NYC) requires a survival instinct and an ability to adapt and improvise when things (often as they do here) go pear-shaped.

This IS NOT a job for everybody. Anyone can do the work, don't get me wrong, but think long an hard about what really goes on operating into normal airports 98% of the time, then you get that one flight to a place so far off the grid the 24 hour news cycle hasn't gotten there yet to broadcast.

Are you high?
