I have no idea what Bu is, I'm guessing LCR and SCR are long call and short call reserve. Again, I'm assuming these are the lowest seniority to hold this position ?
At the rate of hiring, you'll get CLT out of training. Even though it might be longer SCR/LCR times, you'll fly more out of that base then any others on reserve.
DCA will probably benefit everyone and people will still get the bases they want. For example I am willing to bet a lot of senior CLT guys on reserve go to DCA for a line, same with DAY/CVG commuters who took the base for faster BU/R2/R1 lines.
I am betting the seniorty base breakdown will be:
1) CLT
2) DCA
3) TYS
4) CVG
5) DAY
More importantly the people that actually want CVG/DAY won't have to compete with commuters trying to avoid reserve in the commutatable bases anymore.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if DCA pushes PSA to completely full classes (they said each class could be a max of 36) thru the end of March 2017 at this point. AWAC guys will probably start trickling in as well.
