My next question would be the mix of fleets at IAD and growth of the base in the future. Anyone have any info they want to share? Thanks!
you should get to IAD pretty quickly. Vacancy bid season is over for a while but you can try a base trade. 787 has gone unfilled, so you could be on that in less that 6 months if you want too, but you’ll be flying to LOS and ACC and our international reserve system makes regionals look good by comparison. I would hold out for the 777 or 756 if you want to fly international, and I’m on the 787. It’s a great plane but awful to be junior on.
