How long before a new hire can be awarded FLL as a domicile? Are there any chances of getting FLL right out of training?

I have an offer with spirit and JetBlue. Of course JetBlue is a much better airline, but I’m trying not to commute.
I’m in between a rock and a hard place right now.

Everyone in my class that wanted FLL had it by the end of the first year, even those that had to switch from 190 to 320. Even if you got stuck on the 190, there are lots of BOS trips that start or end in FLL, and since it’s not a 190 base there is opportunity to get VDA pay in FLL. First year pay at Spirit is pretty rough from my understanding, especially training pay.

Great place to be to have offers at both. With spirit you’d have faster career progression. You’d be a captain in FLL a lot faster. I would be upgraded if not about to upgrade in FLL. Not even close in Jetblue. I’d still take Jetblue without a doubt if I had to do it again.

I did hear it recently went up to $22 or so, not sure, but it’s roughly an extra $40 for a trip starting/ending in LGA (after the expense report processes).
