How much longer does the contract have there.
Thanks for your time.
You'd probably be awarded DFW out of training. They are short FOs there.
Currently it's hard to gauge junior line holder. It's artificially lowered by having captains fly as reserve FOs so the most junior line holder is very junior, like 2 or 3 months on line. If that LOA stops then the time to hold a line would rise. There's a lot of attrition in DFW right now so a line wouldn't be too long of a wait though.
The AA flying contract expires around the end of January 2017, but according to management they are very hopeful and confident the contract will be extended with larger aircraft. The DFW pilots are probably less confident due to staffing and Skywest's penchant for keeping the larger/lucrative flying on the Skywest side of the house.
