Are there other bases/aircraft that are generally less desirable than NYC so that the most junior guy (...likely me...) could get it?
If I got, for example, a DTW 717, can anyone estimate how long to change to NYC? Thanks
You will be seat locked for 2 years after your initial category assignment. If you were assigned to DTW 717, you wouldn’t be able to transfer to NYC, since that aircraft is only in DTW and ATL.
But since NYC is the most junior base, you’ll likely have no issue getting it. In the 9/13 class 5 of the bottom 10 got either NYC 73N or NYC 320.
