There is plenty of movement. If this keeps up the only reason a pilot will be junior for more than a year will be because he or she chooses to be junior. This is a far cry from many on the list who were junior (system wide) for many years at three separate times.

Junior when first hired.
Junior again just prior to furlough.
Junior again when recalled (often years later).

This very thing happened to over 2000 Pilots in the early 90s and early 2000. We had guys who were junior system wide for over 5 years so I don't really understand what you are referencing.

If a new hire wants to be an ER FO - he will be junior...............by choice. Anyone can control their schedule very quickly by bidding 717 or 88 or even to some degree 737 and baby bus FO.
