The 10 most junior pilots on the winter bid will be based in(from junior to senior) STT, AXA, EIS, UIN, VQS, STT, STX, STT, HGR, and HGR.
The junior line in LNS went to a guy with almost two years.
I'd guess in summer the junior captain will be based in PVC, ACK, MVY, or LEB.
There is a new base bidding system in place. It was just used for the first time. Its full effect on future movement is hard to predict, but it was designed to protect outstation pilots from being displaced.
So, could you hold LNS as a new hire? Not this winter. But maybe next summer.

VA, based on recent history an ATP is not a prerequisite for a 9k job. I think that having a current written and all the times for the ride would check that box off for you. There is no difference in the training, and the only difference on the checkride is you shut down and restart an engine.
Except for a very small amount of 135, all my flying has been 91 to this point. How does a checkride work in this case? Could a PIC checkride with the company double as an ATP checkride? (I think that's what you were referring to when you mentioned an engine restart, but not sure.)
Thanks again!

VA, Yes the company checkride would also be your ATP ride.
Cruz, RSW is untouchable in the summer - down to one year round pilot and two guys with over ten years seniority live there. So EYW is untouchable too. Wintertime EYW is probably goes 2+ years.

Thanks Rob that's what I figured I have a good buddy in the company and I don't remember if he said the same or not. He's a hard guy to get a hold of. I live in the RSW area how hard would it be to commute to a Caribbean base?
