Thanks for the info. A few more questions, what's the longest flight in the system, what's the average flight, how many legs a day on average?

Longest go to Orlando to Pensacola, Jacksonville to Nassau, and now I think we've got Lauderdale to Santiago, Cuba. Those are all in the low 2 hour range.
Average is a tough one to pick out, I'd say anywhere from 1 hour to 1.5.
Legs per day depend on your base. I can't speak for many of the FL bases because I'm IAD based. I know that they do somewhere between 3 and 6 per day mostly.


Is there a rough show time for am/pm flying?

AM is typically 6ish, PM is in the early afternoon, 1pm or 2pm sometimes later.


I would assume you would need to live fairly close to the airport, having to drive to and from work daily, days on end.

Yes.


What's the most current news on which base is junior/senior and how long to hold?

It's all changing at lightspeed right now. It's impossible for me to answer this question.
For FOs, Dulles has typically always been our junior base, Fort Lauderdale is the senior base. However, Dulles is closing and they're preparing to move us and shift us around to the different bases as necessary. They want 27 FOs in FLL and 19 in MCO and in TPA.


What's current reserve time?

Current reserve time varies from base to base. Again, it's difficult to say right now until staffing per base settles down. I'd ask this question again in mid January.


Thanks again!
