Alaska opens new SAN pilot base

SFO or SAN will end up the junior base for FOs I bet. LAX is weird because the most junior pilots in the company are there, but once you get past a few at the bottom it’s significantly senior to SFO. SAN is a wild card on the FO side. I literally have no idea what is going to happen. There was a rumor prior to the bid closing from my new hire class that there aren’t near enough people bidding SAN and so there are going to be a lot of displacements, but I have no idea if that’s true and if anyone who could actually see that data would have been talking.

I’ve heard the same rumor as far as FO’s bidding. Just would love to know the source of that rumor, seems the process is pretty sealed…
 
I kind of assumed that San Diego would not be a voluntary move for most folks, other than those who already live/commute from there to some other base. Same reason a lot of people don't want to be in SFO or LA. Bizarre cost of living, taxation, etc, and on top of that, would add a commute. I lived in SD and we liked it there a lot, but it was near the bottom of my bid. I'll probably be wrong, but if I had to guess, it would be that SD becomes the junior base for a while.....certainly with a handful of much more senior types enjoying the opportunity to no longer commute.
