3 IND
1 LAS
11 PGD
11 PIE
8 SAV
12 SFB
1 TYS
Bid Closes on 8/25... I assume whatever is left would go to the early September class. Then I would expect the Vacancy bid with ABE/BNA will come out and shake things up a bit.

FL Base Schedule
All set for a Sep 23rd class. Excited to be at a major, however have a few questions maybe some of you could help me with.
Living in Florida 1.2hr outside SFB. Only concern is potential schedule / base award. FLL or SFB is my goal. Anyone have a sample schedule / bid?
I understand seniority will influence days on / off, but what can a junior FO somewhere in Florida be expected to have for a schedule? Hours flown a day? Days on / off? How hard is it getting required days off? Swapping / trading trips? Do you have to use all vacation time at once?
Thank you kindly in advance for the read and any responses are very much appreciated. -Happy Contrails

Answers based for a new hire, obviously with time, things will get incrementally better:
Living in Florida 1.2hr outside SFB.
Thats gonna be a rough distance to keep traveling.
Only concern is potential schedule / base award. FLL or SFB is my goal. Anyone have a sample schedule / bid?
Yes. All reserve.
I understand seniority will influence days on / off, but what can a junior FO somewhere in Florida be expected to have for a schedule?
Everything nobody else wants. Ie. Reserve on weekends, holidays, and any other day you would want off.
Hours flown a day?
The real question you should be asking here is duty time per day. Do you like car rides across the countryside?
Days on / off?
11-12
How hard is it getting required days off?
You’ll get your minimum days off and thats it.
Swapping / trading trips?
Sure, I’m sure there is somebody that wants that reserve day on Friday/Saturday/Christmas.
Do you have to use all vacation time at once? All at once for each week you earn. Ie. Two weeks can be split, one week cannot.
