Vegas base?

Hi guys,
Finally got the call. Expecting OAK for awhile. Does the Vegas base look like it will be Jr. or is it a crap shoot?

I got based in OAK for Feb along with 140 plus guys below my class. As far as LAS, I think it will go junior for the FO's intially, but senior for the Capt's due to the OAK and PHX guys that live there. I hear there are quit a few.

Junior for FOs, tough commute, high real estate prices.

I've heard the number of pilots living in Vegas to be 200 from multiple sources. I agree, it will be the Junior FO base as the dust settles. Tough commute, hotel/crashpads will not be as readily available (like walking in MDW) and transportation will cost more (or require you have a car).

Have fun flying in OAK for your month, that was a very fun month for me:beer:

Big D!

Started class in July '06
Flying by late August
Starting with September (company gives you your choice of base for your first month only out of ground school) and moving one month at a time - here was my progression....

Houston <Company month>(Sep), Oakland (Oct), Phoenix (Nov) Phoenix (Dec), Houston (Jan), Houston (Feb), Dallas! (Mar)

Hope this helps.

OAK is overstaffed. Last vacancy award resulted in a large majority of new-hires going to Orlando not Oakland.

The big jump in DAL is due to the March schedule reflecting the removal of the Wrong Amendment!!!! Jets were moved out of OAK to DAL and BWI. I would expect more vacancies in BWI after the vacation season.
