Im not picky on the equipment I would fly in any way, I would just need to be PGD based because commuting isnr really an option at G4.
Yes if you got the 80, then worst case you have to wait 2 years until your equip. lock is up to hold PGD, unless you upgrade into the airbus sooner. St. Pete has MD80s so you could make the 90 min reserve call out if you lived just north of PGD but PIE is suppose to transition to Airbus next Fall so you could get displaced if no LOA is developed to let you break lock (possible but I wouldn't plan on it). If your class has MD80 and Airbus slots you get to choose based on SS# but some classes are all Airbus or all MD80 with a few occasional 757 slots.
