If you get the bus you will get FLL quickly, if you're in the November class... I wouldn't count on it.

However, if you do get the -80 or the 757 I would expect you can bid off before the 24 month lock is up. The 757's will be gone by end of next year and the -80's will fizzle rapidly. If you do get the -80 you will only ever be able to be based in LAS and possibly SFB or VBD once you get 4-6 months seniority.

The -80 is a great aircraft so don't be scared and the schedules in SFB and LAS are the most comprehensive in the system. QOL for commuters sucks but overall QOL and pay in these bases remains very high.
