How senior to hold a line?
What are the lines like as far as types of trips?
Number of legs per day?
How long are the overnights and where are they?
How many crews do they have in IAH?
Thanks
IAH is possible out of training. It's middle of the road. Right now the junior lineholders were hired around May 2012. If more movement comes, that time could come down. There are about 120 crews. IAH is about 80% -700 flying and 20% -200. There's even a few Delta 900 pairings in the mix as well. Even with the 200, the legs seem to be fairly long so you'll average about 2 to 3 legs per day. It seems that most 3 and 4 day trip leave IAH on day one and you don't see IAH again until day 4. So lots of hub flying into other places like SFO, DEN, LAX, and even IAD some. Mexico seems to go junior too. Overnights are all over the place too so its hard to tell you that, but you'll see mostly west coast, but a few east coast stuff too like BOS, and I even saw Halifax as an overnight as well. So come to IAH if you're a new hire!
