You can also get in via a base trade window every month but there’s 1 or 2 small caveats with that. So 4-6 months or so.

LAX 320’s junior FO is about 800 spots from the bottom, but it’s also super tiny with ~45 FO’s in base which puts it 1-2 pilots shy of being the smallest category in the company.
