You are going to be on reserve for a while anyways. So commuting will depend on what reserve period you are assigned, so I wouldn't worry about what base today has the next trip mix for commuting. It looks like all bases are in play for a newhire, pre displacement, with LAS and FLL being the junior bases on this last monthly bid thats in process right now. As far as working 18 days, you will, because you will be on reserve.
Once you get done with training, you can review the base pairings each month with their bid pack, and make a decision on what base has the better commuting pairings, but I am willing to bet your focus will be on which base you can hold a line in first.
In the end, you are going to be bottom of the list guy, so maximizing days off and commutable pairings are not anywhere close to your next steps. Learning the contract and reserve rules will be the important thing after training, because you will want to know what they can and cant do with you on reserve.

Not being sarcastic, get that money. If the company continues to understaff and not pay a decent wage, let them continue to pay FOs double pay until they learn

What does training pay and first year pay look like for a new FO? I wasn’t sure how accurate the pay chart was on APC. I am sure these have been asked before but what is typical reserve schedule looking like for new hires? Approx how long to hold a line. From what I have read on here due to the scheduling, commuting can be painful. I am just looking at options since I would probably have to commute from either Sacramento/Oakland.
