Right now, there really is no junior base.
Currently, here is the most junior pilot DOH in each base holding a line:
CLE - 10/17/2011 - 4 months reserve
EWR - 9/19/2011 - 5 months reserve
IAH - 6/6/2011 - 8 months reserve
ORD - 8/8/2011 - 6 months reserve
So if you want to look at what's junior right now, that'd be CLE and EWR. But that was different 2 months ago. IAH and CLE were junior. IAH is about to be back that way. We have a bunch of upgrades that are about to come out of IAH and FOs there will be moving quickly.
New hire are going to all bases. Right now ORD is looking really short-staffed next month. We have days with as little as 10 reserves.
