New hire here. Can someone direct me to what the best combo of ease of commute / QOL for someone that lives in DEN would be. Overall goal is holding a line and 4 day trips. I don’t expect to work in DEN anytime soon based on these numbers posted. Thanks!

commute and 4 day trips? You’re at the wrong airline

Who says you can't get DEN right away?

Haven't new hires been able to get DEN?

Nope, on the last vacancy bid there were some of the March 25th class that wanted DEN and did not get. A handful had DEN for the April 27th class and did not receive in the May vacancy bid. Perhaps in the coming June vacancy everyone from the March and April classes that want DEN will get it. For the OP - that would mean an October award for the June vacancy.

You might notice Denver, Vegas, and Atlanta are now pretty close when it comes to being the most senior base for FOs. A new seniority list has not been published this month so captain data is still from last month.

New numbers just came out for you. Denver shouldn’t be too long of a wait but 4 days trips? Ya, I haven’t done one since IOE and with my base choice may never see one again. Out of 691 pairing options there was a grand total of 20 4 day trip options. Just under 3% of a chance. Results will vary from base to base.

MIA July is 50% 4 day trips. We’re doing Chicagos’ flying. Payback I guess…

Good to hear somebody still does them

The make up of trips is always changing...

Anyhow I think the op lived in Denver so once he gets it he probably doesn't care for 4 days as I'm assuming he only wants to know about 4 days for the purpose of reducing commutes

Yeah thats a solid yikes.... guess its better than the regional ill be coming from. Couldnt even hold ATL after 7 months. Looks like ill be enjoying Florida commuting for the first half a year :')
