Mostly it’s flexibility when you have a line. Can drop to zero. Take the whole month off. Some guys do it and then get X/Y listed for 200%. End up crediting like 140 hours in a month. Some guys like the 4 days off between work blocks. I hated 5 day trip, 2 off, 5 day trip, 2 off. So that can be nice. 401K DC ain’t too bad either. Pay isn’t legacy but it’s not terrible either. Also great culture and crews. Growth looks good on paper. Relatively quick upgrade if the planes come in when they are supposed to.

How long to a line in a base like ACY? I hear its junior for FO, but very senior for CA

So, any guesses as to time to get a line for a new hire FO? Assuming I get the CJO 🤪

Probably a long time. Someone who is senior enough to hold a line in ACY probably lives there and isn’t going anywhere. The bottom is a revolving door.

Which base? And that far away is hard to guess accurately. Lots can happen between now and then. 6-10 months in the junior(ish) bases.
I get that anything and everything can change. Just getting a flavor for status as of now |

ACY. Assuming I can start sometime in March, 3-month training footprint (I think) so as of July, I guess

I'll be there on 2/12! I am pumped! Any idea how junior DTW is and how long it may take to hold a line?

ACY, FLL, MCO pretty sure you can get right off the bat for sure. DTW, ORD maybe right away or if not, then the next vacancy award. DFW, LAS seem to take a couple more months. as for how long to hold a line note sure. |
One of the reasons I'm excited about Spirit is that the Dallas base would be a seemingly easy commute for me. I've read in another thread that junior guys are probably better off with FLL in terms of getting a line sooner, as there is little movement in DFW. How easy is it and how often can you change bases if you don't like your present commute? Any further comments on DFW?
