Just my experience in FLL, but this doesn't really work since we are allowed to trade reserve days with others. I've seen junior pilots below me with the same number of days left end up in a whole other bucket of available due to trading R days.

It's a crapshoot either way to be honest. Just bid your preferred days off and cross your fingers.

I understand the question now. Be able to hold weekends off consistently (be a line holder that bids rsv). Bid the rap that has the least amount of departures with the least amount of sick calls. Early mornings will have more sick calls.

What's the likelihood of getting LAS out of training?

Extremely likely.

Based on the expected reduction bid anyone hired in the next few months is going to be awarded FLL, MCO, LAS, or IAH. Then who knows. Gotta wait for the dust to settle on November 30th.
I think JB will say that they will rebuild the affected bases but NK will still run the reduction.

It’d be great if the combined town hall they are putting on in a few weeks would provide some clarity on what JB plans to do with our bases; for planning purposes.

Plan on the empty promise of all bases staying open.

I would bet on this too. NK needing reductions in these bases will have little to do with the JBLU model and where they need reductions. Spirit is running like a leisure travel company, JBLU doesn’t.

The planets must have aligned again. I find myself agreeing with Cinco. The stated purpose of acquiring NK was to compete against the Big Four. I don’t see B6 giving up any bases. Well, ACY maybe…

How senior is Atlanta going? I know it's the newest base.
