When my time comes (if I actually end up getting a choice), any advice on which aircraft/base to go for if my only goal is to end up in LAX? I don't care about what I fly or how long I'm on reserve. Just want to be based there. Does it even matter what I pick? Am I just dreaming of some far away never-land that I should just forget about for now?
Thanks again!
717 is the most JR airplane in LAX. If you can't get a 717 then pick the 73n. In fact, LAX 717 is the most junior category outside NYC. In addition, they have very nice bid packages compared to all the rest of the 717 bases.
Here is my favorite source to help with what jet you pick. It lags actual seniority by about 2 months but is a very nice big picture overview:
