Not saying the company is excused from their fault cancelations but saying it's ridiculous that their completion rate isn't higher than SKW is absurd.

its the fact that companies that have less flights should be able to complete more. C5 for example has only ~90 flights and they cancel nearly 10 percent of them. Who cares about scale. If you have less flights, it should not be a burden on your company to complete them.

Does anyone know what the junior base is expected to be by this summer?

I'd guess it'll still be IAD. DEN will eventually go junior by the looks of the current bids but it'll take another few bids for new hires to start seeing it.

I'm going to be one of the swag teenagers and say "that's not what your wife said last night."

Is St Louis considered fairly Jr? Does anyone have a hard time bidding it?

St. Louis hasn't really been considered Jr. Previously, it was the most senior base. Definitely still is on the captain side. All the AA flying is going to be out of St. Louis, so people are being awarded it again. In terms of FO's the term 'Jr' is pretty relative, since guys are upgrading so fast. The top 10-12 guys in Dulles will bid captain by the end of summer. This can probably be said for the other bases as well.
