Also, from what I am gathering, if you are put in the 737, you are seat locked for 2 years? Trying to put together a realistic view of what is possible, and if I should realistically expect to be in Florida 2+ years if accepting a job offer.

Have you ever heard of anyone being put "on hold" to wait for a class where aircraft preference can be awarded? Ie... If my goal is to get to BLI, waiting a bit for an Airbus opening wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, even if I didn't get BLI right off the bat. Would be better than being seat locked (and thus base locked) on the wrong side of the country from my target base.

Thanks again.
