Are bases assigned during or after training wraps up?
Do we bid by social security, birthdate, etc?
TIA

You just bid on the first vacancy that comes up. They run monthly.

How long until I can hold MCO out of training? And also hold a line at MCO? Lastly, with this merger, MCO is very important with regards to family and friends so what are the chances I get displaced to the north JFK/LGA/BOS? Is there a chance that I could be downgraded/displaced to fly the 190/220 post-merger? I know yall don't have the answer to everything I am just wondering what can I expect going forward to the best crystal ball. Thanks and much appreciated!

190s will be gone long before NK pilots will fly jetblue metal. And there will be 400+ 320/321s by then and probably 60-100 220s depending on now long it takes to get them and also to merge. So, mathematically, I don’t think you’ll have to worry about flying a 220 if you don’t want to. Especially since it pays only a few bucks an hour less on the FO side than the 320 and plenty of people want to fly it.

Does anyone know the expected time to hold a line at maybe FLL compared to somewhere like MCO once training is actually complete? Thanks!

Looking for some Intel on DFW please.

What is the the most junior CA date of hire?
How big is the base?
Is it growing or shrinking/any future plans for it?

TIA!

Most junior DFW CA is a 1/21/207 hire. Most junior FO was hired 7 months ago. Base is not big, it's shrinking. May not even be around after JB takes over. I would highly advise not coming here if you must be DFW based.

I knew DFW got senior, but 207 AD? You talking about Icarus?
Real answer: #1730/3303 52%RS 4/9/18. Most junior captain systemwide is at 62%RS, #2060 11/25/2019.
Junior FO #3270 12/12/22, 1 month after finishing training.

Disclaimer: results from the past do not guarantee the future, this is not a forward looking statement.
