MCO is still something of a question mark, as in in grew a bit and then tapered off as we exist in the lull before summer flying and when hiring is meant to pick up in the second half of the year as the bulk of deliveries occur.

Not that MCO won’t grow, but at the moment I think some lower-mid seniority pilots are biding time and probably waiting to pounce when I becomes evident another growth spurt will happen and they are assured better lifestyle.

Between late year growth and the real effects of PBS yet to be seen, it would be a tough call to say what options are assured to a mid-summer or after hire. With the inevitable shuffling to come, the only guess I’d venture in that anyone hired in the first half of the year could hold the base of choice by the holiday season.

Although My opinion and a token will get you on the subway.
