The 737 & 320 LAX and SFO bases are pretty junior. Shouldn't take long to get in. Probably less than a year the way things are going. It all depends on the frequency of vacancy bids.
Congrats and welcome.

I'm curious about how trips are put together. For example. if you're DCA-based on a three-day trip you're basically shuttling back and forth between out-bases and DCA and not hitting other hubs with nothing in between right? Also during bidding, besides days on/off do you get to bid where the overnight or is it luck of the draw?
