- EWR has 2 people from 10/16 and 4 people from 9/16 as CA.
- ORD is a 8/13 hire date.
- CLE is a 1/16 hire date.
These are active employees based off the current seniority list. Swapping is is not a true award. I do expect it to continue to fall with EWR continuing to be the most junior, followed by IAH, CLE, and then ORD. TYS is out of the question since it's so small. The more we hire, the more we can fly, which means the more upgrades we get. I'm not as optimistic that by the end of this year we will see the upgrade award fall to 2 years, but I do fully expect to see upgrades at about 2 years in 2020 sometime.
I happen to know the most junior captain at the company. Just finished OE a few days ago. He is just over 6 years with the company. Not sure where you are going with a 2016 employee being an active captain. The second upgrade class since last year is just starting to do OE.
I did notice there were people showing active on Septembers bid reports that are currently just starting training. I don't know why they show active though. I know a couple of them and they won't be on line until later this year.
