How long should it take to transfer to DC if I accepted the LAX 320 (If I was going to stand reserve in LAX from DC for more than a few months, I would rather want to take the LGA 737 instead). It looked like the Junior UDC 320 was in the 7200's out of 7400. Any thoughts on what you would do?
DC has both 73's and 320's (DCA vs UDC). Both fleets have people junior to me. I just got off OE so my guess is they're still in training and had an indoc class of April 18 or May 2. If I had to choose, I'd go with the 73. That way if movement slowed I wouldn't have to commute to reserve all the way across the country.
