When hiring stopped, IWA varied between 12 and 24 months to hold the bottom FO spot. I suspect it will settle back into that once hiring resumes. However, I would caution against coming here for the IWA Base. We are currently TDYing multiple FOs out every summer. I have been here for almost 3 years and am not senior enough avoid TDY. The only reason anyone has moved up the seniority list in IWA recently is because guys get tired of the lack of movement and bid to other bases. Even when upgrades resume, there are a list of guys trying to bid back to IWA that have upgraded elsewhere. I am not trying to be discouraging, but you should know what the progression looks like here.

PVU will have a new terminal in a couple years, but I feel unlikely about anything before that.

The current terminal is pretty awful though. They would need something temporary if they were going to expand at all.

How long would it take to hold AVL?
Possibly right away if you’re in the next new hire class since we have a couple AVL vacancies that could go unfilled since the most junior is bottom 10 in the company. On the flip side it could take years since it’s a small 2 plane base and nobody may transfer out.
How long would it take to make to $140K as a FO?
If you’re taking about just flying your line and going home, about 5 years (year 6 pay step 5) but our current contract expires in about 2 years and negotiation starts in 1 year. We have had year 2-3 FO’s making more than that but they were hustling.
What are the current junior bases?
GRR, SAV are extremely junior and whatever new bases open early next year will most likely be junior. PGD, PIT, VPS have also been historically junior back when we had movement/hiring. IWA BLI are extremely senior.
Will there be growth for a possible base at JQF?
Absolutely possible for a base even without more growth. Minimun # of departures/week to qualify for a base = 20. JQF currently has 32. You can figure out the short list for the next bases by using this metric.
