I’m a Aug class hire. I got LAS based through January. The next vacancy for PHX has +20 FO slots in for the month of February. It’s very possible that even the Sep and Oct classes will get PHX options.
I should get PHX for February and when it comes down to brass tax, IOE should take up all of November, with a realistic commute of 2 months to LAS. You pair this with a 2-3 year upgrade and over 40% day trips, and it isn’t a bad trade off whatsoever, especially in comparison to Alegiant if you’re into a PHX base with day trips.
Phoenix is supposed to grow to around 200 pilots. It’s at 117 currently so again I don’t think you’d have any issues getting into PHX if you get into a class this year or early next…
