By the time it got to me, options were Boston and New York and my split-second decision was to avoid having to be responsible for covering many airports as a probationary reserve. Re-reading this thread and seeing mixed signals, sometimes going junior and other times stagnation. Starting to wonder if I should have gone with LGA, especially as we are still awaiting any ground school dates and sounds like it could be a while…

Anyway so how’s things in Boston these days? As another commenter mentioned, I too am getting accustomed to all the apps and sites. At previous companies I’ve had access to pairings at each base and equipment, as well as lists that show the final run of PBS and allowed you to compare your relative seniority (kind of like an expanded 3xp but overlaid on the awards so you could see if you had a shot at a line, or deep into reserve territory, or couldn’t even get in). Do we have stuff like that?

Poking around open time I can see plenty of early start/late finish trips. Still pretty typical of the base? An earlier comment said reserve went senior sometimes and possibilities of junior lineholders. Still the case? Worth sticking around for a bit to be a junior lineholder, or should I try to bid/MBE elsewhere? I’ll be a West Coast commuter for a year seatlock, so first priority is minimizing the pain by trying to get a line, if at all possible.


hmm maybe this answers one of my questions. Where exactly can I find TASC, still not 100% what all I’m looking at.
