Seniority of domiciles?
Could someone give me an estimate of the relative seniority of the various Spirit domiciles? A guesstimate even would be appreciated.

Hiring a lot. They're all junior. Do a search, you'll find more of the same.

ACY is the most junior base. DTW and FLL usually can be held around 3 months from date of hire. ORD around 4 months. LAS and DFW around 5 to 6 months. It all depends what bases the upgrades are coming out of, sometimes these can be held sooner that what I stated. |

Good info for a new joiner as ACY is basically uncommutable from most places. The next question is how long are people sitting reserve in those bases. Could be moot though. I heard reserve is going senior on the current contract. This will probably change beginning March or April. Seems like one can be anywhere within 4 months. Hopefully they order a ton of aircraft otherwise upgrades will be between never-maybe someday.
I held DFW in March, I could have held a Relief line by May ( my hired date was Oct 2016 if that helps). I chose to stay on RSV because every other month I was bidding into a conflict, and for 38.50 hr I wanted to just stay home and not fly.:) So I would guess RSV in a base as an FO can be anywhere from 2 month to 7 months depending on the time of year you get hired. Hope this helps |
1st Month- ACY
2nd Month-FLL 3rd Month-held DFW which is my preferred domicile. That seemed pretty standard in my training class. |
Even if you get ACY off the bat, most people (me included) ended up dropping anything we were awarded and picked up at another domicile (in my case, DTW). I only saw 1 trip out of ACY, and they even positive spaced me to ACY for the trip.
Good luck |
I was able to dodge ACY and got FLL right out of training. I got ORD the next month then DFW. Once there, I was able to base hop wherever I want to
