I had R19 for two months in ACY and FLL, 5 months of R3 in Dallas, one month on a relief line and then I held a line. Your mileage may very.

You didn't have R19 in ACY

DFW may stagnate here in the very near future. We just got out bid by American on 7 gates in terminal E. My guess is that our shrinking quanity of gates will effect how quick someone can get DFW.

It’s a net loss of one gate in DFW, or so I’ve been told. I would be shocked if AA gets to keep all those far end E gates that ASA parks at AND get all the terminal E satellite gates. We’ll know in the next 12-18 months, I guess.

Any idea when a new hire can hold LAS?

You’re right. It was R3 in ACY and some R19 in FLL. Trying to repress the time in ACY.

Default Standing bids

How often do they run standing bids for domiciles? Is it once a month, or whenever vacancies come up during start of new hire classes? Just wanted to see how often people can expect changes in domiciles after getting hired if they want to get to FLL or DFW.

every month, lots of movement as junior FOs hunt for that elusive animal "seniority", not idealizing "good lines" are out of season at all bases....
