But the advice I can offer is, choose based on type of flying or any other factor, because bases come and go in a heartbeat.
I’ll add to this (as someone recently assigned to one of the FL aircraft that has followed bid packages). TPA was relatively senior on the initial bid when it announced, but it’s been trending more junior since. I believe the seniority to hold is now around 18 months - if not less. 777 had new hires assigned to Miami a few months ago after it first opened but I don’t believe that’s the case any longer.
My guess is that’s mostly because there are some well paying lines on the 777 (although also some MMG) and the 767 in TPA is mostly Amazon stuff (although there’s new international stuff to Europe) that pays MMG and/or CRT.
TL;DR folks be following the money.
