FWIW, according to the April Vacancy award, the most junior MCO FO's date of hire was a little under 4 months ago (10/31/16). So in reality, about 4 months on the line after training until he held MCO. DAL is pretty close to the same, slightly more senior guy though (10/10/16 DOH).

And all could be thrown out the window if FLL opens this year (heard from base coordinator...)

True. We were talking about that tonight. Any base opening -especially if it results in a drawdown from another domicile - will reshuffle the whole system.

Anything more concrete that you can share? Base coordinator said it's a done deal?

When is that terminal supposed to be finished?

Whack, I can't speak to the crew base at FLL, but this article and others that I've seen suggest that it should be completed in June.

Scheds tracks your block hours, and if they think you'll be close, they will slow you down. Otherwise, everyone would work enough to be illegal for Christmas. Oops!

Summer. Coord said to expect a base to open after the terminal is ready and LAX is being strongly considered after FLL. Take it for what it's worth.

I apologize if this has been discussed before...I really did spend a good long while researching and couldn't find a concrete answer...but student time/dual received on pilot credentials? Just omit it? I know that AA says to log it as SIC, but when I do that it increases my total time and that isn't going to fly.

Just trying to make my resume jive...should I just make a special SWA resume that omits all my time as a student? I'm kind of at the cusp where the numbers do look better if I show a resume with ALL my time but I have heard the numbers need to match PC indentically. TIA!!

I was off on my time cause of their program. They know it. Never was discussed. I never put it down, tho I didn't need the hrs to make mins. I'm sure someone has a better answer
