BOS is out of reach without a few years seniority there's about 4 lifers who are there and the base has had between 4-8 lines over the past 2 years, it flexes during the summer and adds a few more but not enough to touch the bottom 50% of the captains list.
EWB same story
HYA went pretty junior for the winter due to the lines all being 35 hour min while many of the upstate lines were close to 50.
ACK, MVY, LEB, AUG went middle of the pack seniority for the guys that couldn't get BOS or couldn't afford HYA.
Based on the level of attrition new hires could really get anything as they tend to just throw people into empty spots if they finish training in between bids.
Junior bases are as always anything in the midwest, and the BVI due to the expense and 6 month requirement if u go there.
gl to those applying

SJU - Low guy for winter is 11/2010, this base flexes a lot so during summer it bottoms out around 2004 hires i believe.
MAZ - held by two guys with 6+ years. MAZ doesn't flex for winter, so unless one of them leaves no one else will be able to get in there except if the company ups the flying.

You have to be atleast a 2004 hire to hold the SJU base year round? Am I reading that right? What about the 2010 hire date for the winter season in SJU, I thought new hires went sent straight down to SJU.
