In other words theoretically any base is possible out of training, while FLL or MCO is most likely, DTW, ORD, and ACY are not impossible. DFW or LAS is least likely.
Wait, so the Florida bases are actually going junior? That's amazing if true. Is this something that is going to continue because all the new planes are being added into Florida? Are there people who actually want DTW, ORD, ACY? Those three look like a list of bases that would be heavily junior at most airlines.

ACY was perennially the junior most FO base for a long time, and it was almost a rite of passage to do a month or two there after initial before rotating out to another base. Lately there are enough people who want to be there.

Lots of people here live in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin etc and DTW and ORD are commutable.

Lauderdale is the biggest base in the system, and Orlando has had a lot of recent growth so they usually have vacancy and go junior.

Things shift around, and 6-12 months from now could be very different

FLL is pretty junior. MCO not really as much. Though you can pretty much hold any base by the end of training.

Getting into any base at NK has never been a problem because we have one aircraft type.

What happens once you are in that base is another story.

Just keep coming to LAS if you are a new hire. Trust me it’s the best base.

Speaking of seniority, where can I find the seniority list? I can't find it anymore on the ALPA website.
