I saw the flow plan on this thread about all the FO openings in MIA. Does anyone have any idea how much flying the reserve guys get and how long do you think it would take me to get MIA? Thanks!

Are you talking CAPT or FO, because JFK FO is NOT super senior.

Just so everyone reading this is clear, any FO on reserve at LAX with a 2000 hire date is doing it for his or her own personal reasons. As for the 1988 FO, he owns a rather successful construction contracting business and has no need or desire for an upgrade.

DK about reserve, but they are playing catch up on growing that base so right now 6 monthsish for transfer, but once they catchup it could drop fast.

The people awarded MIA on the June bid award have a Nov 1st transfer start date. Those awarded it on the July bid have a Dec 1 start date. There were 40 openings on the last bid and not nearly that many takers so you will get awarded it right away but you will probably have to do 2 or so months reserve at your initial base. You'll just need to wait for the next vacancy bid to come out v

Right. I have a buddy who is an 07' hire and was just awarded LAX.

If you put in for MIAMI this month I would think you would get it Jan 1st based on the above stated logic.
