Base trips have consistently gone to the bottom feeders on most fleets. (Note, 3 yrs seniority on MD is close to 50% up the list so not exactly a junior guys perspective). Search schedules here, I’ve done a bunch of posts detailing what junior guys hold with pairing examples. Search night flying, there’s a ton of info on exactly what the trips are like to fly.
To answer your question, a quick scan of MD base trips shows the usual mixed bag: lots of pairings which vary in type, not very commutable. Basically all the leftovers grouped together. Used to be some great day flying in those, not sure if that’s still the case. If reserve is junior, it sure looks like they aren’t sitting around the house much... |
Are there often base displacements for the junior guys each system bid? If so which base would be the most stable for a non commuter?

Thanks guys, so I assume the 757 SDF would be the most stable bet, is it pretty attainable right out of training?

In conclusion, SDF is the safest bet in my opinion because the absolute worst case scenario is you get a 74 to ANC. Chances are you’ll realize you like it, but if you don’t you can bid to SDF. If you don’t get it on the next couple system bids you’ll almost be to your 18 month seat lock (equipment not base) and you can switch to anything you would like at that point. Commuting to ANC from SDF is probably easier than commuting to ANC from anywhere else, and the trips will be more commutable than trying to commute to SDF to fly a junior domestic line. |
