Your hardline month following IOE will be assigned to you, and it's usually in your preferred base.
BTW, finishing up early in Feb will work great for you...contract states that you'll get a full hardline month, so scheduling will build out the rest of Feb for you and then you'll bid for your hardline in March. So you likely won't see reserve until April. |
That's how it worked for me last year, finishing IOE in early Feb. Assigned Hardline for the rest of Feb in my preferred domicile, then another assigned hardline for the full month of March in OAK.

I commuted to BWI for a yr from NYC. You can fly into DCA and take the train to BWI. It'll take an hr. Uber rides aren't that bad $40 and will take 30-45min. In a pinch those will work. There's also a bus but I never researched that one. If there are flights on company metal use that and if you can't get on use the commuter policy. I did once when NYC shut down for 2 days for snow. Not even a question from scheduling.
I've met several who commute from BUF and all have done both bases. Either is relatively easy |
I moved to a base. I'm finally at a company that will most likely be around for 20 yrs so I moved. I now work fewer days for more money and don't miss the commute one bit.

Don’t worry. They will add LAX as an option this year. 500 pilot base by November.

All other bases to shrink by 50 pilots to build the ETOPS base... No good can come of this. Curse of the monkey paw. https://gph.is/1TviUtD Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
What is the current time to be awarded FO MCO, and what about holding a line as an FO in MCO?

You should be able to get MCO by your second or third month after hitting the line. As to when you’d be able to hold a line, that’s a different story... It’s a very top heavy base. |
