For those who are new to 121: a friend of mine was given the opportunity to attend a class on short notice, about a month earlier than planned. This will put him ahead of around 60 other pilots on the seniority list vs attending the later class. Just to give you an example of how many pilots that is, in Dallas in September there are 61 reserve lines.

Seniority is everything. The more senior you are the quicker you get off reserve, get weekday flying, avoid working holidays, earn premium open time. It is also increases the buffer between you and any potential furlough. So, without trying to sound preachy, take the earliest class you can!
