FWIW, the latest update from manpower guesstimating is projecting lots of base growth and/or backfills pretty much everywhere (except the 747-400) as expected as a result of significant mainline growth combined with pilot retirements. All those pilots moving up to a CA seat or widebody FO have to come from someplace and that will drive "unadvertised vacancies" aka backfills all over the place.

The bottom line: baring catastrophe it will be a great time for pilots at the bottom of the list to get desired aircraft and/or bases much quicker than those hired even just a few years ago.

Many of us have seen this show before and we know that this industry operates in cycles but folks should enjoy the ride while it lasts. (Spoiler: it won't.)
