HNL was the last. The big 5 mentioned above are solid.

I would say the most unpredictable base is OAK. I think there's more flying from Stockton than Oakland.

Can't comment on QOL. I assume it's good. You may fly a lot on reserve since AVL is close enough to cover FL bases. That's all I got.

AVL reserves actually don't typically work too much. Sometimes you cover an open trip or a sick call, but usually both planes are out, so getting called for a rescue is extremely rare.

But for some reason OAK has 11-12 CAs. In the slow season the base has less than 150 block hours. The weirdest base but might be the best place to bid reserve.

I disagree. Unlike AVL it’s pretty easy to catch a flight out of OAK and cover any other base for a few days.

Not fun getting a 90 minute callout to be away from home a few days.

You’d think that but I was there for a bit and I did a few trips outta lax IWA but was always brought back to base the same day. It’s strange why we have 11 CAs for only 1 plane though.

Almost every destination out of OAK could also be covered from another base, except MEM. Obviously they have a reason for keeping it open with the massive overhead it must be creating for a single airframe, but it's hard to figure out.

I know it is currently a moot point due to lack of hiring but how jr were SFB and PIE going when there was movement, and any idea how jr they will go once hiring resumes? I know this is a moving target but any insights would help.

one more thing, about how many crews are in each base?
Thanks in advance!

You'll have no problem getting SFB or PIE as a new hire but forget about upgrading to either.
