Current seniority progression is good in the right seat of the 320 in Atlanta but past performance is no guarantee of future returns. The ATL320A trends very senior compared to other bases.

Thank you for the recommendation on Widget Seniority. I signed up for a prospect account and I am trying to interpret the results. The default number given is 14469 and results in a NQ at every airframe in every base. In fact it remains that way until at least 13000, so the question is what is the right number to start with as a potential new hire.
Also one more, probably more important question. I don’t see any captain bids showing up until about 9000, which the site gives a projection of Feb 2033 for. Does that seem realistic, that it would take almost 12 years of seniority to hold a Captain seat?
Thanks !
