Winter, can usually maneuver your schedule to never fly.
A lot of 6 day trips historically as well. When they fall into open time almost routinely they are broken into two 4 day trips which will either start or end with a DH day.
If you don't want to fly much, avoid reserve over weekends and any blocks longer than 4 days as much as you can.

The most recent flow class had three NYC 330 spots. The flow classes get a separate drop from the regular new hires ( fact) . It's smaller, and I'm told that it's based on deltas predictions on what they will need in 90 days, not the present, due to the 90 day hold back. ( rumor)

What has the bottom 10% of the class recently seen for assignments? My chances of 330 are pretty slim with the SSN lotto, but I'd be ecstatic with 320/220/ER or anything on the Eastern half of the US. Expecting an early January class.

Recent hires can give more specifics, but generally the 717 and 220 (when offered) generally tend to go junior. Also, NYC is pretty universally the most junior domicile. But even if you get something west of the Mississippi, we have been having pretty regular vacancy bids (called an AE), which often allow folks to change domicile quickly, sometimes even before OE is complete. Good Luck.
