I do not want to be based there, I live on the east coast and if someone knows how can I get out of there the quickest or how and when can I Base Trade and how likely it would be for me to base trade every month I would appreciate your help very very much.
Thanks.

There is a BOS FO that wants to go out to LAX...good news
Email CrewPlanning to get yourself on the monthly base trade list
You can view the list of pilots that have requested to transfer on the Crew Planning portion of HelloJetBlue. This page is updated throughout the early part of the month , prior to the award, so you can see if you're on the list. Update your request monthly (if you're not awarded a transfer)
Don't know where you live or want to commute to, but make sure you list JFK/BOS/FLL to increase your odds of getting an east coast base.
Good luck. And since it's System Bid season, update that bid too (might happen faster than a "monthly base trade"

So be aware of that.

Can you drop reserve days at B6?

you can drop 1 RSV day unpaid if the reserve staffing allows it (can be tricky). You can also drop additional days if you use PTO time, but again that’s depending on staffing and very difficult

If you do get a trade, that becomes your new base. You do not need to trade every month.
