For someone who is starting class soon, a couple questions about bidding during the first week:
- Do you bid for aircraft type, base, or a combination of both? (ie., could number 1 be BOS A320, and then number 2 be BOS E190, and then number 3 be JFK A320..etc?)
- How quickly after that bid do you find out your assignment?
- Assuming I don't get first choice of domicile, is the process smooth to later transfer bases when spots become available?
- Getting specific, what's the likelihood of getting LAX awarded straightaway? (assuming it's not great, but just throwing it out there)
TIA

The company has stated cuts in LA flying. I’ll be the first one to say I enjoy working for JetBlue but if I were you I would tell you to go to a different airline right now regardless of age. Specially if you’re a west coaster.
If you happen to get lucky and get LA you’re still likely to sit in the bottom for years. AA and UA are the best choices right now. If you still come, welcome, you’ll enjoy it as long as you set expectations.
