MD-80 VBD will be quickest upgrade, usually. You are based at a different base every month as part of VBD. You basically bid for your base each month then bid your schedule within that base based on your overall seniority. Some guys got lucky and lived near a base and were able to bid that base while VBD based. Because a lot of our flying is seasonal they use the VBD to plus up a high demand base for a short time.
Thanks. How long does the training last? Do you know which is the most junior base for the 80/320?
