I'm gonna disagree with you guys.

Mco was fairly junior (at the bottom of the FO list) prior to the AirTran deal. The reason for it being so senior with stagnation in recent times was that along with Atlanta, it was an AT domicile and there wasn't enough room for everyone. It took several years for the pig in the snake to work its way through (on the FO side).

As long as swa doesn't merge with JetBlue, or dramatically shift flying and shrink the base, there will be a healthy amount of movement there for a new hire today. Mco is in the top 3 or 4 bases for retirement numbers over the next 10 years which is significant because it's also one of the 4 smallest bases. Plenty of guys are leaving the base to upgrade and not all the new hires in Mco will stay which will just make it more junior for the guys that come behind them.

Btw I predict that we will see a similar trend in Atlanta over the next 4 years. Once all the AirTran guys get in, followed by a handful of recent hires, I think ATL will go super junior since any new hire that lives in Atlanta would be crazy to pick Swa over Delta.
