Got interested in "When can I hold Capt at Delta?".
Did some FTB style spreadsheeting.
Here's the info right now based on the Oct13 Category list, and modified by any AE award that has a lower seniority #. I also looked at the Sep and Oct 13 Line vs. Res counts, and show the seniority # of both the lowest lineholder as well as the actual most junior guy in that category. Left side is sorted by lowest total seniority, right side is same info sorted by lowest lineholder.
Below that is what seniority # it takes to hold each base as a Capt, and to hold a line there.
I have also cross referenced the ALPA seniority calculator, which takes into account all retirements and gives my seniority at the END of each year. According to that, I can:
HOLD CAPT anywhere (NYCM88A) by end of 2020.
HOLD a LINE somewhere as Capt (NYCM88A) by end of 2021.
I was hired in 2001. That means at the 19 year point I MAY be able to commute to NYC to be the bottom reserve guy. At the 20 year point, I can commute to NYC to actually hold a Capt line. At the end of 21 years, I can hold a line west of the Mississippi in something.
Sorry, but THAT is the real data as of today--all else is smoke and sunshine being blown up my posterior.
