Congrats!
Mail pilots fly strictly out of HYA (it's a HYA-ACK run), and FOs are mostly based in the major hubs. BOS, SJU, HYA, ALB, RSW, with a couple based in LEB. I'm not sure if there are FOs in all those bases right now, but that's just where I've seen them based before. And yeah, FOs bid for their lines just like CA, but the bids come out at different times for some reason.
Good luck in class!
