All things LAS base
Hi all, I start with the company in September and have some questions about the LAS pilot base
1) how long would it take to hold a line? how about Long call? - Training is 2 months plus a 2-3 week to get IOE done, then a month of a relief line. so thats about 4 months on property without actually sitting reserve. so with that being considered can someone give me the average time currently it takes to hold a line or long call? I live in PHX and would be cool with LCR as the commute is quite easy.
2) Do LAS trips consist of any international flying? - Is the international stuff usually straight from LAS or do you get funneled into somewhere like FLL? - do those trips go senior?
3) piggy backing on the last question, what is the trip build usually like out of LAS? Is there lots of 4 leg SOCAL shuttle trips? I heard lots of redeye's to the east coast, but after the redeye whats the rest of the trips like
4) could I pick up any X/Y listings being a commuter from PHX?
If you have any other information about the base that you think would useful please let me know
Thanks!

no direct international flights from LAS (although by the time you are wearing a blue shirt you could be doing LAS-CUN as B6 does that route)
you are correct about ending up in FLL, then from there doing a redeye turn to somewhere in Central America/ Caribbean. They love to do those trips out of LAS.
Yes you can do that. put your self on the ”Y” list for PHX.
you can also be on the “X” list at the same time for LAS.
