45 would more than likely put you in the top 5 spots within class but obviously if you get unlucky with an older class that could change. Florida is very common, all bases but not necessarily the plane and the base you want. With the movement you can bid the plane and eventually get the base. The company is going all Airbus in the next few years so if you are ok with flying the 80 for a bit you will eventually end up on the bus. I always tell people that ask about this place if you are not happy with being at any of the bases on any of the planes I would not come here. VBD is a fun dynamic in the mix as well
. That can be good or bad if you live near the most common VBD bases you can make some extra cash and VBD upgrade is usually the quickest amongst all planes/bases. Being 45 you will more than likely get your choice as long as it's offered. OAK is very unlikely. BLI, CVG, PIT and IWA are/getting full so that leaves Florida and Las Vegas. No Airbus in Las Vegas and 75 is senior in Vegas leaving only the 80 as an option. Like any airline, it's a crap shoot.
