If you can deal with the red-eyes as a junior the word on the street is all the X/Y trips you can handle are available in LAS, so if you just want to hustle for 6 months and make some serious cash then transfer to a different base that's an option too.

Shouldn’t be hard to find how much XY is being handed out per base with a simple check of the logs online.

Outside of a major wx event, most FLL CA X list calls right now are going to captains who have around 15 hours or less total premium time for the year. It varies from base to base.

The junior new hire base has shifted around over the years, at one time most new hires had to do a month or two in places like San Juan or Atlantic City, and for a long time it was almost a guarantee you would be in FLL. If the merger wasn’t a thing, all it would take is a glut of new hires from the west coast or another base opening and it could easily shift back east. Yes red eyes are common but it’s not like they are entirely avoidable in any other base.

LAS has a ton of commuters though, so any amount of XY time is mainly going to those who live in base and want to work on their days off. That number as a percentage is going to be a lot lower than a base like FLL/MIA, where virtually everyone lives within driving distance.
