It goes pretty senior, second only to LAX.

A short history. CLE had 650 pilots before 9/11 and it was the most junior base. At the same time the first round of 450 furloughs occurred, CAL made a marketing decision to reduce CLE by 400 positions. Basically all the lost positions came out of CLE. After the reshuffling of people on the system bid CLE was suddenly a very senior base. Since then, there has not been any lack in people wanting to return.

With 2/3 of the base being displaced in 2002, there will always be folks coming back after their stint as commuters in a different place or larger equipment.

737 FO most senior to least. LAX, CLE, IAH, EWR, GUM.
