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 !
Look at the "AE Report Card"...bottom Advance Entitlement(vacancy bid) shows roughly 10,300 seniority, hired in Sept of 2017 for captain(A) on a320
Junior capt on 717 was a DEC 2019 hire, sen # about 11,660
A220 capt was 12,400, OCT 2021 DOH
SO, not near as dire as what you think you see
Lots of info in Widget seniority....play around with all the pages...it's a wealth of info
