All in all, as it was mentioned earlier, FLL is not the most junior base and can be held in less than 1 year.
Sure, and that's a fair point. The truth is we wouldn't know what is THE MOST JUNIOR base until you actually get to what any individual class bids once it's available. It's a bit of an academic point to be honest, because the fact is that newish pilots can hold it, and will be able to hold it in the future, really really quickly. As far as I'm concerned, that's a win for everyone.
Remember that one class a few years ago was FORCED to go to LGB because no new hires would take the slots. For one new hire class, LGB had the most junior A320 FO's in the system.
Whether that happens with FLL remains to be seen.
