I’m sure this is posted somewhere but I am at the beginning of my search. For someone hired this year, how long is reserve for a junior base? Is MDW fairly junior? I live in Cincinnati and that would be the easiest commute for me. Just wasn’t sure if you guys have long-call reserve or just short-call? Any airport reserve? Any info for a new-hire would be super helpful! As I understand it, SWA pilots work hard and I like some busy months and some easy months. Is it possible, after some seniority, to drop trips and kind of “ease-up” some months here and there? I know holidays are tough. Anyways, just curious and I really appreciate all of the advice!
