Don't forget most of El Caribe as well on the 73.

Last few new hire classes went to LUS side, except recalls. I'm assuming LUS = PHL-190. As far as the flying goes...MIA 737 international is the way to go!

The classes on the US side have been a mix of PHL 190 and 320.

Yep, not for new hires.

PHL is the most likely new hire domicile on the East, but there have been some scattered DCA slots too. Aside from the E190, the DCA A319/320/321 is next to most junior.

I've read somewhere (probably on the APA site) that they may send new hires to the S80 since they are delaying their retirement to 2019. Not a confirmation, just a possibility. And most S80 flying is done out of DFW these days.

Post October, when we have one list, PHL, MIA, LGA and occasional DCA and LAX will likely appear in new hire class drops.

CLT to ILM

Any Wilmington NC commuters on here??? Are there a lot of pilots? Is the A319 overnight currently a long or short one. Looking at moving south when I can hold CLT Airbus. Looked at CHS also but more expensive and it seems any city with a military flying base means lots of commuters. More beach up in ILM and closer to the OBX

Some quick non scientific research shows only one mainline Airbus flight a day from CLT and no mainline to other domiciles. Not sure if it's an overnight or not and don't know the length if it is an overnight. Realize that it's entirely possible that the CLT mainline flight is flown by pilots at another domicile.

Lately it has been a 30+ hour overnight done by CLT crews. I think it's only seasonal though, I'm not sure there's a mainline flight year around.

At one time it was a bad commute, lots of pilots and F/As, few mainline flights. I imagine it still is. I'd study it hard before comitting. We have a place on the beach just south of there, it's about a 4 hour drive to CLT.
