So- I’m an Aug 22 hire.
Currently there are 300 NB CAs junior to me. By Sept 1st, there will be about 450 junior to me (already awarded/awaiting training/etc.).
right now there are only 60 WB FOs junior to me. By Sept 1st there will be 64 junior to me (already awarded/awaiting training/etc.).
The first time I could have been awarded 73 CA was for DCA was on the July 2024 results (OCT, NOV, DEC 2024 class dates). I think the next two or three bid cycles went senior to me at all bases.
I guess what I’m saying is that seats move at different paces and different directions.
You really can’t use anyone else’s experience to manage your expectations.
