I don’t think it’s so fast if at all. The problem with ACY is all new FOs bid out as fast as they can. So there’s no real movement toward being a line holder. Just from observation the most junior FO( he lives local)in October’s bid package is a January 19 hire. Of course he’s on reserve. That said all more senior FOs live local or want to stay there. Therefore there’s not much progression towards holding a line since it’s a small base with a limited number of lines. But there’s also a lot of talk about closing ACY and opening BWI. Rumors, rumors, rumors...

Just checked the OCT bid for DTW. The most junior line holder was hired 09/18. In ACY the most junior line holder is a 03/18 hire. Keep in mind that a lot of guys have been- are being hired since July ( 50 per month and starting next year 60 per month for the first quarter at least). So there’s going to be more movement of course.

There’s also not a lot of open time in ACY bc it’s so small so picking up may not be realistic. This isn’t regional rsv. Rsv isn’t that bad and sometimes desirable if you live in base. Just kick back in jersey and let it flow. As a commuter you strategy could work but then you wouldn’t be bidding ACY anyway

I’m MCO reserve, live local and credit over 72 every month, so the financial thing is relative. You can list on x or y list and make some extra cash but don’t budget on it. Sitting rsv at home isn’t bad at all.

It will take a long time to get a line in ACY. Everyone here is to junior to upgrade so no movement except for new hires leaving. 1.25 years and still no line. I can go to FLL or DTW to get a line if I wanted it that bad.

Alright. I might then bid DTW and just try to drop as much as I can and pick up open time/advertised from ACY. If I have to shlep to DTW once or twice a month, that's fine. When I get to second year pay I can bid back to ACY and just chill on reserve and make enough $$.

This assumes you could get a line in DTW which sounds like that would take over a year?, cause you can’t drop reserve right? Might as well just be reserve at home near ACY, instead of commuting to reserve.
