trying to help a friend who is looking at CJO’s from both Spirit and Jetblue. Money isn’t his major concern, he’s more interested in getting based at home asap. He has a young family and lives there. He’s trying to figure out which will let him get home soonest and upgrade at home soonest.
any input appreciated.
In short, it will take a very long time. There were some lucky ones getting base trades on the 190, but those are outliers. They are shrinking and eventually closing the 190 base here. The Bus is very senior. Captain plug is something like 16 years. FO has to be at least 4-6….maybe more. I’d have to look it up. Don’t come here for an MCO base unless you get an instructor position. I’m just giving you a brief answer. Someone can chime in with more accurate times.
