Can a junior FO get a senior base such as MCO or BWI with the hopes of getting bumped out when the senior guys come over in the next 2 years?
The rumor or fact is that a pilot who gets bumped out has more options than a pilot that did not. So in training if everyone senior to you takes OAK or HOU because they want to avoid reserves in MCO and you get stuck with being on the bottom in MCO it is ok. The reason being all of the senior guys who will be coming over will bump you out of MCO giving you a better chance of getting ATL over a guy who didn't get bumped.
Did that make any sense?
