Louisville and Indianapolis chances?
I was just curious about how difficult it would be to get either Louisville or Indy out of training.
I know Indy is a longshot, but what about Louisville? If not out of training, how long is it typically taking to get the base you desire? I just can’t see myself living in Boston or New York, I’m just a guy from the south who likes to not spend half of his salary on rent. Thanks!

Sorry I have been slacking on my updates over here:
Domiciles availability based on Seniority
Current junior FO for both IND & SDF are January hires. So 8 months as of today.

Both bases are definitely trending senior right now and even if you get them you'll be sitting reserve for a while. BOS is the hot junior base right now with LGA right next to it, I have some buddies that got a line 2 months after training. Meanwhile I'm still on reserve, but it can all flip in an instant.
Long story short with the way things are right now. I'd anticipate 5-8 months to hold IND, 3-6 months to hold SDF. Subject to change

Things change really fast here. Rewind like a year or so and SDF was considered a very junior base with the opportunity for a quick line. IND was also possible to get right out of training. I hit the line in January and just got IND last month. I also bid SDF to be closer to home before I got IND and it took me until June to get SDF.

This is definitely true, good news is that vacancies are starting to open up again in IND. I think there was 7 for January. SDF has been pretty stagnant though to my knowledge.
