LGB Domicile

Can any JB folks out there give me the realistic chance of getting Long Beach. I live in PHX. I know I have read it is a small base. I am trying to avoid a long distance East Coast commute. Thanks.

As a new hire, 0%. JFK and BOS are the choices

If you get the Bus out of training, you **might** be able to bid over to LGB in a year. If you get the 190, the soonest would be two years (seat lock and no 190s in LGB)

I wouldn't say that....2 new hires in the class before me last year got it because 2 LGB spots went vacant on the system bid. Weird stuff happens....

Correct. 0.001% chance

And for what I understand, one of those two was the most junior guy in his class. Late 20s. Go figure.

Seven A320 First Officers in LGB are junior to those two guys mentioned earlier who were hired September 2014.

So, it is possible within your first year as evidenced by these 9 pilots. However, the chances of LGB being your first award aren't good.

I know what that means, because I work here, and it still sounds dirty

may 2015 hire here...still hoping to transfer. didn't get it on the june bid. didn't get it on the September bid. hoping to get it on the December bid. that would be a transfer sometime between January and june. so if (and right now it is still a big if, the system does not show us who has a bid in for what) I get it in the December bid, that will be at or close to one year for me to transfer. it is all timing. there were guys last year who had better timing than I did, apparently.
