Bottom line - if your seniority is 11,350 or better you can hold 737 in any domicile and you can hold 767 in ATL, NYC, and LAX. I am 10,300 and I can hold anything anywhere (FO seat) including ATL 777 and I was on the very edge of holding reserve NYC MD-88 Captain (within a hundred numbers).
So depending on how things shake out...you are essentially my seniority now I believe...so the answer to your question is LAX 767 and 73N are options, as well as SLC 767, 73N and MD-88/90.
Rumor is there will be a big SEA 767ER base...you might get that.
Wow that sounds really good. My number is just over 10,000. Interestingly, if I recall, the DAL guy right below me is your JUNIOR MD88 Capt (I am guessing NYC)...so guess that means that finally I can hold a CA seat??!!!! Dont want it, but its a milestone nonetheless...So the 767ER would fly the Pacific routes out of SEA?? Not familiar with all the 767 types...ER, 400, etc and what kind of flying they do (domestic, int'l). Whats the difference between the 767-300ER and -400ER? Quite different payrates...
Thanks again, and really looking forward to downing a few with my 20-30+ ex-Navy Delta bros!!! However for the first time most of them will finally outrank me!!! Guess they buy...
