It's a small operation. I'm gonna say 230 pilots. It's not that unusual for a guy to get ONT fairly easy. After a year, for sure, and even the occasional new hire. Holding a line is another thing, though some reserve lines actually go senior. The junior hard lines are so bad that reserve is better. I just talked to my buddy who I helped get hired a year ago. He's an F/E on the 8 on reserve in SDF. He looked at the ONT lines and said no way he'd want to go to that base. No new hubs or bases. HNL layovers with the ONT base, and some MD11, I think. The HNL lines are built so they are bad for commuters. As such, they don't go all that senior compared to what you might think.
