As a new hire coming in, what would be the fastest way to FLL if for some reason I missed the bid for it in my class? SO much to learn about how all this works. I am just trying to figure out the best route in order to get FLL asap. I have heard the the 190 has a much better QOL, but I also believe that each individual can make the position how they choose. I have tried to search the threads for this answer, but I am coming up short.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

As to the OP asking how to base trade, you have to contact the company and have your name put on the list, then wait for someone who wants to leave FLL and move to your base. In seniority order, of course. The list if viewable online once you're on property. I believe you have to contact them each month to remain on the list, but not 100% sure about that part.

While your reasoning is largely correct, the allure of the Bus still makes it the more senior plane among new hires. Don’t sweat getting the 190, it’s a good plane and you’ll be getting a reprieve from middle of the night reserve 320 flying.

Forgive me for asking this. I am sure this has been covered. Just can't find a thread with the info and I am aware that things change. Here it goes. Is KBOS/FO still super senior on the bus? The last I read for KBOS is that if you want Boston as a base right off the bat the EMB is the only way. Just trying to get some info before bidding next week. Thanks all.

Another reason is not that the bus is better, it’s that people are sick of the 190 flying. If you’re coming from a northeast regional on the 170, you are stepping into the exact flying you’ve been doing for the last 5-10 years with a few exceptions.
