AS Junior bases?
 
Hi all, just wondering the Junior bases currently at Alaska And what SFO looks like in that seniority.

Thanks in advance!

hard to say. Most Jr FO is SFO but they can easily get LA or SEA in next bid. Jr Captain switches between SFO and SEA every bid.

SFO is definitely Jr.

Base Trips
 
When comparing trips out of the junior bases like SEA and LAX, can you expect any big differences like a lot of Hawaii out of LAX for example? Or pretty much going to see much of the same across the network?

If you're JR it's a lot of red eye flying. About 25% of the flying in SEA is red eye. Not certain about LAX. Some JR flying is SE Alaska although some of it goes super senior.

Trip lengths and minimum days/month
 
Hey guys, a follow up question. What are the trips like out of SFO for junior seniority? What are the max/ min days per month?

What about reserve call out times?

Thanks!

sfo lines are horrible currently. 12 -14 off redeyes lot of 24 hour overnights aka start early spend all day at the overnight and get back late. Not commuter friendly. I believe United is hiring

While true quite a few of the SFO lines are red eye trips, it is and will be the fastest growing base for a while. If you got on now, you’d grow seniority quickly and as the base grows the line quality will improve too.
