The most recent staffing outlooks have listed more vacancies in CMH than LGA or EWR. I think it's because many new hires that get awarded CMH their first bid choose to transfer out quickly, and are able to do so.

Not sure because it really doesn’t change much no matter where you ate bases (except MIA, you are not getting in there). All the rest of the bases are held if not by the end of training, within a month or 2 after. Reserve time should not be a consideration on choosing a base as it is low at all the bases considering the company is short on FOs. Don’t expect more than 2 to 4 months of reserve no matter where you are based.

I'm new to LGA and started/finished IOE early this month right out of sims. Had 3 weeks of reserve scheduled. Every day of reserve was filled 2-4 days ahead of time with trips. I'm crediting 110 hours this month.
The only day on reserve not filled - today the 31st of May. And I hold a line next month. So today is my first and last day of being a non-line holder FO at LGA.
I wanted LGA because my wife and I wanted to live here and suffice to say I'm pretty happy being here. PM me if you have any questions.

I appreciate the insight - thanks! Starting early August so I might PM you closer to start. Thanks again!

Also, what base does what codeshare flying? Besides the obvious MIA, PHL, and EWR.

The kinds of trips each base gets just tends to shift with the seasons. There isn’t necessarily a set kind of trip per base (though some have more shorter pairings like LGA). There’s not necessarily any geographic significance. Hub bases typically have turns you can drop/trade (flica gods permitting) the first or last day of a trip to make a trip commutable, outstation bases may not.
