Guessing SFB.
MCO is perennially senior. Once the new hires really start flowing in, there will be a junior cohort that starts working it's way in to MCO. Last big new hire wave, we eventually had guys hold it in their first month.
Upgrade is always and forever going to be long in Orlando. There will always be older captains moving to that area as long as taxes are low and the weather is nice. There just isn't much movement off the top and so it gets really stagnant, especially on the captain side.

how long to get based BWI
Curious how long it will take to get based at BWI airport?
I saw some information in this thread 246 FO's from junior and someone else said 4-6 months. I know it's hard to predict, but does anyone have an idea/opinion?

I keep seeing this, and DEN is attractive to me as a newbie/BNA commuter. Is there a particular reason as to why there will be so much growth there? I’d assume it’s probably tied to the max and being able to reach Hawaii from there?
I get that it’s probably speculation, but any insight is appreciated as I start researching commute options

The problem with big DEN growth is that the giant sucking sound you're hearing will be LAX and OAK emptying out.... leaving vacancies for the junior in both seats in... you guessed it. OAK and LAX.
Space positive commuting would be a game changer but blah blah squeeze the balloon whatever.

Denver weather is great….housing prices suck for those wanting to move in though. From DEN, every base except ATL, MCO and BWI are 2-2.5 hrs away and it’s a popular tourist destination year round (if you like being outdoors).

Places like LAX/OAK/MDW/HOU/DAL are tapped out on space or gates or both. Those DEN gates will have departures, and to fly the planes on those departures will require bodies in DEN.
BNA-DEN has good coverage on SWA ,UAL, and F9.
