The evening flights are wide open on airways for me so i always get a seat. If I'm commuting same day I've had to ride in the jumpseat a couple times and haven't been bumped yet. We bid with FLICA and it has a trade board where people can trade or drop trips. You gotta keep an eye on it and you can do some work out of different bases of you want. New hires won't get Miami. Vacancies have been shut down for 3 consecutive months there otherwise I'd be in.
