Does both bases have both equipments based there?
Which equipment are new hires currently getting? Do you have a choice?
FLL is A320 base. Right now it’s about 1 1/2 year to get it.
MCO has both A320 and E190. Its junior on the EMB, about 2-3 years. On the 320, somewhere around 3-4 years.
New hires are getting a mix of EMB and 320, with JFK or BOS.
You get to bid aircraft/base on your first day, based on what the company offers. It goes by seniority in your class, with the oldest being the most senior.
