There are 102 Captains and 99 FO's eligible to bid listed (medical leaves, etc apparently not counted).
DOH"S for most junior Captain, 50% Captain, 50% FO, most junior FO: Sept. 1998, Sept. 1994, Mar. 2018, Jul. 2020, resp.
Of the 99 FO's, 17 of them are legacy (2000 and earlier hires), 10 of which are senior to the most junior Captain. I know some of them are hardcore lifestyle bidders.
Hth, you're welcome.
And with all this said....we have just last week been told about increased hiring, upgrades and some additional aircraft. We will have 22 yr Captain upgrades with 5 yr in the same class. After that the average will 5 yrs or less.
