From my time there, I still don't think LGB will go anywhere. The company I work for right now has a business interest with B6 and will probably be the "pipeline" program for the company. That being said, I think the routes that we are flying on scheduled charter will eventually get folded into the JetBlue network somehow out here. Just my .02.

Traditionally BOS 190 and JFK 320/190 are the junior bases assigned to new hires. Reserve I'm not sure but BOS 190 I believe is less than a year. Other bases over a year. Upgrade also a moving target. Currently about 4 years but quickly getting longer on the last couple of bids with fewer 190 upgrades.

JFK and BOS bases are pretty much guaranteed as a new hire. Reserve times vary and are very cyclical depending on need and when you get hired. For the past year the E190 had the shorter reserve time, but I think the trend is starting to reverse. I'd plan on 6-12 months on reserve, but that is subject to change. Our reserve system absolutely sucks! Upgrade currently running 4-5 years and I expected it to increase some more.

There won't be much E190 hiring through September. I think 4 guys between now and then.
Unless you are the top half in a class with E190s, you likely will get the Bus. The E190 has gone senior in the last few classes. It all depends on the class demographics. Several in the last few classes were already typed on the E175/190, so they bid it.
