Seems like you have the answer then. Since you’d be a new hire expect to sit reserve for at least a year, so you’d be commuting to a crashpad. There appears to be 1 flight from MEM-MCO which I’m sure you already saw. Two flights from MEM-MIA which will just be a co-domicile with FLL. 3 flights MEM-LAS. If you have choices to work somewhere else that’s more commutable I’d consider them.

Hold up, new hires are sitting reserve for a year in the junior base?

I thought the times would go down due to the increased attrition? I’m starting next week and am looking to get MCO as I live in TPA

EDIT: Oh wait, probably because they have limited captain upgrades to prioritize new hires…

Attrition is likely hurting reserve staffing as most the folks leaving have less than 1-2 years on property, resulting in constant churn at the bottom and a small increase in net headcount at the bottom
