Most junior FO in IND is a 11/03/15 hire. Looking at the latest monthly bid award (effective date of July 1st), the most junior FO awarded IND is a 2/2/16 hire. So I would not call it senior for FOs.

We are short staffed. Plan to fly everyday that you are on reserve (RSV). We do not have guys sitting around on RSV. You will likely credit over guarantee, but because of the outstation basing model we have, a significant portion of your schedule will be deadheading on RSV.

Republic is still my #1 because of the PIT base as that is where I'm from and would want to base out of there if/once hired.
New hires are offered all the vacancies not filled by current pilots during our monthly vacancy bidding process. Bases are assigned in seniority order to new hires. Your seniority within your class is determined by age.
As for PIT, PIT is SUPER junior for FOs. You should 100% expect PIT as a new hire.
