Default Envoy New Hire

I want to live where I am based. Is Dallas my best option? How likely is it to be based there?

DFW new hires aren't seeing the base for a long time. Those hired in December just got their transfers to there. If you're over 40, then you can go for the 175 and you'll get it by default. If you choose the 145 then you'll be somewhere else until they can transfer you in.

The CRJ has gone to the most junior class members multiple classes in a row. If you wanted a very close to 100% gurantee would be to select the CRJ and live in Chicago. With Miami coming online and the 145 being spread between LGA, ORD, DFW and MIA there isn't any telling which basses will be offered for class and transfers can take time.

I am 33. What base do I have the highest chance to get? Is the goal of most people to get to dallas?

Highly likely you'll get the 145. Lately they've been offering guys a choice between ORD or LGA on the 145. I'd imagine 145 in one of those two bases will be your best bet. There are a lot of current 145 LGA FOs bidding MIA. LGA will in turn need more new hires to go there. Yes, DFW is a very popular base with lots of guys wanting to get there. Good news is, things are moving very quickly with the upgrade time dropping lower every few months. As long as you get on the 145, you'll eventually get whatever base you'd like at some point down the line.

"Over 40 and get it by default", why is that? Age and 175 and DFW?
Thanks

The 175 in DFW is by far the most sought out status. Oldest guys in class get first pick of base. Hence, it goes to the older guys in class.

There is still no guarantee that someone 40 will get the 175. Guys in their mid 40s have been the youngest to get the 175 in some classes!

Base/equipment selection is currently done by age-based seniority. Within a class, seniority starts with the eldest and ends with the youngest.

This is absolutely true. There are no guarantees for anything. No particular base/equipment is guaranteed.
