Weight & Balance · across every carrier

Every crew base, weighed against what your family actually needs.

Tell it what matters and how old you are on day one. It weighs {{ baseCount }} bases across {{ carrierCount }} carriers on the same national scale and hands back your shortlist, in order. Planning estimates from published figures, not offers.

If you have not set a weighting yet, start with Dallas–Fort Worth worked all the way through — one metro, every section, free.

How this is worked out

Fit is a weighted average of that base's {{ factorCount }} factor scores, with your first pick carrying the most weight and your fifth the least. Pick nothing and every factor counts equally. The scores are absolute and anchored nationally, so a 74 means the same thing on every carrier: {{ cityFactorCount }} factors belong to the metro and do not change with the tail number, and commutability and seniority are scored per carrier.

Years in the left seat plays that base's own published upgrade window forward from the age you gave and stops at the age you chose, or at the FAA mandatory retirement age of 65, whichever comes first. A base whose window does not complete before you stop reads as none rather than as a number. Bases that do not publish an upgrade window are marked not published and never guessed.

Every figure here is a planning estimate built from published sources, not a commitment from any carrier. Open a base to read the reasoning behind its scores before you plan around any of it.
