I would disagree, most of those who want ORD are fairly senior, especially on the captain side. Obviously the FO landscape will be completely different in a few years when fences are down, but most of the captains I'm thinking of are lifers.

I doubt the fences will be less than 2 years... company doesn't want to spend a ton of money on training costs as everyone trades around. I wish and hope for little to no fences as I'd LOVE to trade to one of the ERJ bases and I know a lot of other pilots wanting the same thing, just not holding my breath. We need a contract first anyway and it doesn't seem like that's happening anytime soon.
