You sound like you’ll be fun to fly with. Some of us say bad words on the flight deck too.

As an ACY captain, I'll answer your question. It used to be almost everyone had to come to ACY for a month or two. Since we've started hiring again after covid I have noticed people are waiting a few months to get the bottom ACY FO spot. In the last "what if" bid, LAS was junior. That doesn't mean anyone of those bottom pilots wanted ACY, but if they did, I don't think they would have gotten it. It's a great base, but upgrading here will take a long, long time. We have many captains commuting that want an ACY captain spot, but will probably have to wait quite a while. We have 3 retirements this year, and at least 4 or 5 guys that want back in, and 4 or 5 bypassing upgrade until they can get an ACY Captain spot.

Also, I highly doubt ACY will survive either merger.

I hope this helps.

Florida bases
 
Is it likely that FLL and MCO will remain junior bases for new joiners and does Spirit have a TPA base?

AC has enough tools, it doesn’t need another one. Lighten up Francis. Sup RonnyK320 saw JK in LAS. Said you were doing well.

Is there employee parking at MCO? If so, does Spirit pay for parking passes?
