Thanks for the insight. i'm just trying to wrap my head around commuting lol. Thanks!
I just looked at the seniority list and the last two airbus classes have several PGD FO's in each class which tells me it is junior. Also, PGD is not a small base (in the Allegiant sense) so in my opinion it is not going to be closing.
Having said that, you would have to get the Airbus and not the MD80 to have a shot at PGD (or FLL for that matter). In the recent past, they were running mixed classes and you needed to be above age 35 to get the AB as it went right in seniority order. Lately though, it seems the classes they are running are either all AB or all MD80.
Now having said that, it appears that our new TA, if passed, will no longer used age for class seniority. Instead they will be using the last 4 digits of your SSN. Technically there is nothing to stop them from doing that right now as we have no agreement.
