Since it is a vacancy bid, it starts at the top of seniority list and moves down, and this can create secondary vacancies that were not part of the original bid.
First time around you and your classmates will get whatever is leftover as you are the last dogs at the bowl, but most bases are possible before training is over or shortly after.

30 LAS
30 FLL/MIA
25 MCO
15 ATL
10 ORD
10 DTW
8 ACY
1 lucky DFW spot for the grand winner.
and please, Don’t forget to get your pets spayed and neutered!

Have the displacement previews provided any insight of certain bases becoming more senior or junior?
Might ATL end up junior because no one was there before? Or probably just still Florida..?
Rumor and conjecture welcome as well (of course…)

Say what?
Off the top of my head, I got the following, but I’m sure there’s more:
LAS
SLC
RNO
DEN
PHX
ABQ
ORD
MCI
DFW
AUS
PIT
BUF
SYR
IAH
DTW
MSP
RDU
MCO
BNA
SAT
As to the post asking about LAS, I think it stays the same or maybe grows some from the combined current network, and stays a crew base. I think Joanna mentioned that as one of the west coast growth opportunities they are looking at post merger.

ABQ has one flight a day - to JFK. MCI has two flights a day - one each to BOS or JFK. Houston, San Antonio, Dallas… each have one flight to JFK and one flight to BOS.
Compare those cities to Dominican Republic - 29 flights a day to 6 different JetBlue hubs.
Except for MCO and LAS, JetBlue really doesn’t stray too far from salt water.

We bid every month. When I was in training, it took me 3 bids to get to DFW. By the time I got the award, I spent only 1 month “commuting” to FLL. I put that in quotes because your first month will be a relief line and you can trade your trips into MCO trips during that time. I would guess you’d be able to get to MCO within a couple months of finishing IOE.
