All of our bases are junior on the first officer side. With that said don't expect a Florida base out of training. We're severely short in the IAD base because the pilots we get are mostly from Florida or southeast US & don't want to fly in the north during winter months. So expect to spend atleast 4-6 months in IAD before you'll be able to move to Florida base if you want to. Sometimes base transfer can be faster it all depends on how many new hires are behind you.

With the new day trips in all Florida base expect to fly 10-30 hours on reserve. Currently reserve is 6-12 months. Again all this can change & is based on attrition & how many new hires we get.
