So...my question is, should there be LAX slots for my class, should I take it even though it may be for the 737 OR choose the Airbus for a different domicile knowing that I'll get LAX eventually.
I have guys in my Reserve unit that fly the Bus and love it. I've also spoken to guys that have flown both the 737 and the Bus and prefer the Bus hands down. Thoughts?
Bid the Bus. Do not even consider the 73. You'll be senior enough to grab a 320. If LAX isn't in your drop, no sweat. Take it to any base, or one you won't mind being in for a few months. You'll bid to LAX in your first vacancy on property while you're in training. You'll be made in the shade in LAX on the Bus in less than 6 months. CongrAAts and welcome.
