I was hired in December. At my seniority, the best seat to be in would be SFO 737(69%). Followed by LAX 737(72%), DCA 737(72%), EWR 737(79%). I'd be close to a line holder on the 'bus too, SFO 320(80%), LAX 320(84%), EWR 320 (86%), and ORD 320 89%.

They are advertising growth in the 737 fleet in SFO, LAX, and EWR. The new 777s will probably create openings in every seat in the company, other than 787s, DEN, GUM, and CLE.

If your objective is to get off reserve ASAP, SFO is the place to go, hands down. But I spent only 2 months in the bullpen at EWR, so no complaints.
