I can likely upgrade in base at around 11k, which will likely be less than a year. I am currently 50-60% in the right seat. Going to plug CA in base isn't bad for me because I am 20 minutes from the airport. I will miss Imaxing, but it is worth it for another 80-90k a year.
I’m not terribly senior to you. Certainly not in the aspect of DOH. I’m in the teens seniority in my base/seat. I can hold most 2 days but I don’t bid them because I don’t live in base. The only 2 days I can’t touch are the ODAN’s….low block, short duty..but they go to single digit and very low 2 digit seniority. I can hold any NB CA seat except BOS.
Enjoy the upgrade. I hope it works out well for you. I will upgrade when I can be a solid lineholder in my base/seat of choice. In the meantime I will fly only trips I want to and get the days off I need.
To each their own!
