Junior domiciles. Right now new-hires are going to all three (ATL/IAD/DTW). ATL will always be the senior base, but DTW/IAD can be considered the junior bases.
Future expansion is anyone's guess. We can't even cover and complete the flying we have right now. Short staffed and lot's of maintenance issues.
They might still be interviewing, but last I heard there are no further new-hire classes scheduled on the ASA side as of now. I believe around 60 people have been hired so far this year.
There is a May 2nd class with 12 people or so, but no more classes are scheduled yet.
Life is going to suck on reserve, but hopefully ALPA will try to make it better in the next contract. Reserves may work 6 days a week at one time, and not get called in for several weeks straight when we're overstaffed (which we haven't been for at least a year).
