I got MIA 320 in class. I’ll spend 3 days of short call after my OE. Then it’s DFW 320 starting OCT. Going to hang out there until I can hold a line in LAX or PHX.
Just bid the Bus anywhere. Good luck.

You might want to take a look at the schedule again. There are only 2 daily nonstops PHX-MIA, and 2 nonstop red-eyes per day.
My class drop had only east coast bases to choose from, and I chose PHL. It wasn't nearly as bad of a commute compared to several of my classmates that were stuck with MIA. Their commuting experiences were miserable. YMMV.

Thanks! Hopefully it won't be very long until I can get PHX regardless.

Question about NYC 737 (I) or (D)
Thank you so much for the information great stuff, live in Manhatten all NYC bases are equally distant. One last question, my current 135 job has 4-6 legs a day with min rest/max duty day at least 60-80% of the tour. How many legs should I expect on either I or D, 737 in NYC

Revisiting my question: 1 PHX in the drop which I will not be getting. Next up is 4x PHL which I will probably miss out on as well so then next up it's a choice between bidding MIA or DCA as my 3rd 320 option (before LGA as the last 320 one). Any thoughts on pros/cons between those two when commuting in from PHX? 3 flights vs 4 flights per day to MIA like you mentioned. Any thoughts on the differences between the two as far as the multiple airport stuff goes or other factors?
Thanks! Hopefully it won't be very long until I can get PHX regardless.

The optimistic thing is that you should be able to get to PHX within a vacancy bid or two.
