Also, I did not say SFO 787. I said West Coast WBFO. So comparing apples to apples, as opposed to space Shuttles, most junior East Coast WB CA is 4500 in the snap. No clue how many years, but I would guess it's a pretty damn good estimate for people wondering when they'll get it. How about you stop attacking everyone who is just trying to give reasonable expectations? I'll bet you my 401k against yours that I won't be able to upgrade in less than 3 years on the property, 5 years in base. Want to take that bet?
Not complaining, just being realistic
You're not "being realistic". You're saying it takes 45% system seniority to hold it because you are just looking at one bid where they offered 5 slots on the west coast for the entire airline to bid and then you have pilots telling rumors that this is the last bid for a year. The whole thing is amusing. Clearly I have flown with pilots hired a couple years ago that got WBFO in their new hire class, so its not "45% seniority" because of the result of one vacancy with almost no bids being offered.
