flights on the 800 are frequently weight restricted and we have no jumpseat protection in that case

I've got an interview coming up next month, we have the ability to move. But it's a matter of finding the right place.

Thanks to all the posters...long-term lurker here.
If this has been asked previously, somewhere else, my apologies!
1--If a new hire lives in Denver but can't hold DEN right out of training, which junior base commute would be easiest? LAS? (I'll probably do the PM schedule if an option)
2--After I can hold DEN, (new hire virtual meeting said expect DEN in 2 bid cycles) how long should I expect to be on reserve?
Thanks,
SW

Sorry, dudes, but in the modern airline oligopoly, nobody is failing despite the complete idiocy of the management teams.
Sure, there may be a few more marginal players that get sucked up or that band together, but the four biggest airlines will exist as they are now into the distant future. They pretend to compete with each other, but just like the world powers in the book 1984, they are always at war with one another and they just fight over little crumbs of market share. They function pretty well right now to transport people and goods around the country and to make money for the investor class.
Barring some world ending cataclysmic event like a meteor strike, nothing is going to change.

Rsv prob around 4-6 mos depending on how people bid (and how the vacancy bids shake down)? Could be shorter, could be longer.
