Sorry if this is covered elsewhere, but…I start class tomorrow and have a question or two on bidding bases/equipment.
How frequently can you switch bases and is it easy to do? I’m looking for fastest progression to A) upgrade and B) have a decent schedule. (I realize the next class isn’t for several months so I use “progression” loosely here) I’m planning on LGA737 as it sounds like a base/plane combo few are excited about. However, I’d like to switch to MIA737 in November. Then either back to LGA or maybe some other base in April. Reasonable? I should add not to worry about where I live…I move around a lot, commuting isn’t an issue.
Also, I understand “I” is international and “D” domestic. Are they transferable; if I take “I” in LGA does that mean I’m also “I” qualified in MIA? And is the I flying ‘better’ than D? Wondering why someone would limit themselves to only D schedules?
I suspect they’ll tell us this tomorrow, but we’re expected to submit our bid tomorrow too. I just want to hear thoughts from those who are actually flying regularly and have the evening - and maybe a beer - to think about my selection.
Thanks! Looking forward to joining you all!
