The list goes in order of chances:

PIT: Most senior for CA (#1 on the list is an 85 hire) and senior for FO. The last class that came through got pit out of shear need. When the CA awards came out, since PIT was so senior for FO, guess where they got all the upgrades from? PIT is full of us "lifers", everyone knows or has flown with each other other in some capacity somewhere (flight instruction, corporate...whatever....) Other than that its really hard to get into.

DEN: Next senior in line. This base fluctuates since its Frontier and they don't know if they are coming or going lol. Just as hard to get into. Add to the fact that it is the only real west coast base we have,there is some good competition for it.

IND: Pretty senior but not that big so its hard to get.

CMH: Just opened, kinda like a holding facility for people who want PIT, either CA or FO. Not too senior and they are still adding, so the jury is kinda out on them.

DCA: Lots of lines, easy to get, and the best thing is it isn't Philly. Bad news is that as the J4J guys move out, they wont replace them. It wont grow, per say, but it wont really shrink either. A good bet if you are junior.

PHL: Ahhh what can be said about Philly except its Philly. Junior base, if you want it out of class you probably got it. Tons of lines, I don't even think people have been sitting RSV there.


As anyone can tell you, any base is up for grabs, you may just have to wait alittle for it. How long? Who knows. Itll happen, just give it time....
