Is it also still true that the flying is more regional style with multiple legs a day?

Lots of questions about time on rsv and the simple answer is it depends. The amount of flying varies wildly during the year and thus the g-line will move dramatically. If you live within the 2.5 hour bubble you may do better on rsv than with a super junior line so some people far below the g-line end up getting lines b/c senior g-line holders choose rsv. If you are slightly below the g-line, you can waive some of the protections to try and get a line. In general, 75-80% seniority is a bottom line holder. In EWR and SFO that may only take a few months, IAD and LAX slightly longer and Den, ORD, and IAH much longer. I would not put much weight if any into line progression since it will change, bid the aircraft you want with the type of flying you want and avoid commuting if you can.

I'm a 10/28 CJO and just received my class date for Jan 11th, I believe I'm in the last round of 10/28 CJO's class date offers. So I'd expect you guys would start receiving offers by the end of next week, just my guess.

Change of base
If you choose a base during indoc and then decide while in sims/ioe that a line from ewr/sfo would get a line sooner and would prefer that, how long would it take to change to these more junior bases with unlimited openings?
Thank you.
Thank you.
