Default Aircraft, base and reserve info

Can some of those in the know break down the aircraft and base info?

Given the option which aircraft would you choose and why?

How long to hold each base for each aircraft and what are reserve times and how long to hold a line in each base for each aircraft?

Some fresh info would be great. For example a recent search would tell me that Long Beach is a senior base but is actually now being offered in training.

BOS, JFK MCO have 190 and 320 bases, FLL and LGB are 320 only.

Bid the 190. But everyone will storm on here after me saying how we aren't getting anymore 190s and how the Airbus is where the growth is. But ignore them and bid the 190 if you are concerned with QOL.

Reserve on the 190 is shorter than the 320. 320 JFK/BOS is somewhere between 1-2 years and 190 JFK/BOS is somewhere 4-6months.

LGB is still the most senior base.

Any idea on how long to get FLL? I have a free house there to use as a crash pad.

Right now... 1.5 yrs to hold the base... reserve for a loooong time, and all the Lima and Quito 3 day trips you desire. Airbus base only.

FLL and LGB more junior than BOS? They must have had some pre-assigned credit to get lines!?

I changed the FLL number to 2858 since he had preblock credit and I tried to avoid counting those. Still, only 5 numbers away from BOS 320 FO! LGB is legit though. Lots of senior guys bid reserve out there.

Some of those are actually promising numbers for the AB providing that the classes remain airbus heavy.

Very true. Tomorrow I'll post the numbers for 50% in each base. That will tell a different story.
