They are advertising growth in the 737 fleet in SFO, LAX, and EWR. The new 777s will probably create openings in every seat in the company, other than 787s, DEN, GUM, and CLE.
If your objective is to get off reserve ASAP, SFO is the place to go, hands down. But I spent only 2 months in the bullpen at EWR, so no complaints.
Not sure if I ever thanked you for the info, so thank you! Honestly my goal would be to get to IAD as soon as possible since I live in Richmond and really don't want to move. EWR would be second choice I guess since it's the shortest commute.
With the hiring and retirements coming do you think that IAD would be fairly obtainable pretty quick? Thanks!
