According to our March schedules, the most junior line holders are: LGA - #584, PHL - 647, RDU - 658, DCA - 655, ORF - 709. We currently have 711 pilots on the seniority list. The only reason number 709 got a line was because 5 people ahead of him forgot to bid a line or just forgot to bid all together.

DMB, our contract negotiations are going slowly as expected. They have reached a TA on a few of the sections but still have the more difficult ones left. Don't expect a new contract within the next 3 years.

If you commute this company is going to make you miserable, unless you don't enjoy a social life or being at home. You will not fly West of Kansas City and a decent storm will shut down every domicile in the system. Every time you fly into PHL you will swap aircraft, if you don't mark it on your calendar. At least 5 out of the 7 days a week our company rockstar twitter feed says "operation is struggling" or "today is going to be a struggle".

We do have decent pay for a regional and great medical benefits. You will have job security for the next 3 years at least. If this appeals to you, welcome and enjoy.
