You’ll be doing weekends or reserve for a while in FLL. As of now it’s possible to hold weekends off in the northeast bases with less than 6 months on property.
How senior is FLL A320 for FO's?
What is the most days off you can usually get?
Do you guys have a lot of day trips?

Can anyone share info on how
Many minimum days off are guaranteed for reserve pilots?
Do you get to Proffer for your reserve assignments for day 1? (Say you want a Rap that starts later in the day to make it commutable)
If there is Open time flying available for the next day, do you get to proffer for it?
Thanks everyone!

You get to bid for your RAP on any of your reserve days. 4 different options/silos. On your first day, you are guaranteed 10AM or later, unless waived by the pilot, making it commutable to most of us.
You can also proffer for open time available on the next day, until you reach 40 hours for the month.

FLL recently went to a July 24 hire. Check the system bid thread. It varies from class to class. Tough to say how it will look moving forward but the award that came out the other day had many junior folks going to FLL.
On reserve? 13 or 14 days off in 30 or 31 day bid periods, respectively. Can drop one additional day if the grid is green (LOL).
Day turns tend to go senior. If you like island redeye turns then you should be able to pick those up pretty easily.

Do you guys have a lot of day trips? I would like to spend as much time at home as possible, I live near FLL and just trying to make a decision between going max thrust for Jetblue or just wait for the flow (3 years) at my current wholly owned Airline.
thanks!
