Default Miami A320 Trips
Hey guys how is a general schedule and trips on the A320 out of Miami for new FOs? I am not a fan of overnights in Latin America, I am usually over concerned about safety in those countries. Is it easy to avoid on biddings? How many days off have you guys getting monthly? How easy is it to drop trips and to pick premium nowadays?
Tks for the insights!

You’re right about the safety concerns!, it’s not like here we get shot at Walmart, schools or at the movie theater

By all means bid for the Omaha overnights while the rest enjoy Bogota or Aruba

I was just in Mexico City. It was great. Even walking the streets in at night I felt more safe than in Chicago or New Orleans. Have fun with those Omaha overnights. lol

Enjoy Bogota?! You went too far! Good luck wearing a Rolex in Colombia, Brazil or Argentina, or simply speaking on an iPhone on the streets.
Ps: I am from one of those countries… I’ve been gun robbed more than once, “flash” kidnapped, and seen people killed in front of me. You could have all of my Latin America overnights!

If you are from one of those countries, then you’d never wear a Rolex or speak on your iPhone on certain streets brother, gotta use common sense depending on the destination. I’m Hispanic too, just fyi. I’ll keep those overnights no worries

I can’t afford a Rolex anyways lol.

As far as my friend tells me, he’s been based in MIA for almost 4 years now, domicile is really junior, so it all depends on how good you are with PBS and if you prefer shorter or longer trips. Shorter tend to go more junior, apparently.
