Maybe this whole thing has deviated so much to become completely confusing. Someone said something earlier about seniority and holding certain airplanes.

All I did was wonder what junior most seniority held captain for each base and equipment on the last perm bid. I went to the perm bid award on the FLT OPS site. Opened it up. I went down the captain's side of the list in each base and aircraft to find the very last person listed (i.e. the most junior person listed) and noted their seniority # and last name. Then I went to the master seniority list and found their date of hire. That's it. No fuzzy math. No smoke and mirrors. Just simple date of the most junior guy holding each captain seat per base from the most recent perm bid.

I wasn't weighing in on all the other previous perm bid scenarios, etc. I was just giving everyone an idea of what hire date would hold what equipment here at CAL.
