When someone asks how long to hold WB CA do we reference the AWA guys who had a much quicker path to WB CA or the LAA pilots who are years behind? It's hard to get a good reference with a seniority list that's a product of multiple mergers. More importantly today's numbers will be meaningless for new hires. The landscape will be much different in 10 years.

An interesting data point for potential new hires interested in ORD widebody flying is that it looks like we are down to one international destination out of Chicago (LHR). Every other trip flies through another base (PHX, MIA). It looks like AA has almost entirely ceded ORD International to UAL.
