How is the seniority at Miami, Orlando, and Tampa?

I believe MIA will remain junior because MIA based pilots do recurrent training in MIA. It’s great for those who live near the airport, but for commuters they lose travel days to/from training as well as accommodations during training. It’s not a huge deal, but will likely factor in to the decision for a commuter.

Typically within six months as an FO you can hold anything here. Even Denver -as an FO.
PHX will also take some of the pressure of both Western bases and there will likely be more movement..
