It's nice to have in the back pocket, but this seems like nothing more than a carrot to attract new hires.

Agreed that it sucks overall but the "super senior guys" have closer to 20,000 hours with the company and any captain on property has at least 3,000 hours.

What the hell does that even mean. The "super senior guys" probably won't go.

It's going to be interesting like a snuff film to see how this ends up shaking out. I can't imagine we can send more than 3 or 3 per month for the first 6 months. Them we should see the true numbers start to develop. We can't lose more guys than we hire and that will, as always, will be the determining factor.

What's the consensus on if ORD will be going junior or senior? What're the junior bases currently?

Need to explore those lifeboat options after the SkyWest pay agreement.

When mgmt addressed our class the expectation was ORD would be the largest and most junior.
PHL is currently the junior base.
Flying for UA starts in September.
IAD will see the first activity. DCA will be the first closure.
Announced UA flying for Sept and Oct supports their claim re ORD.
If you joined us now you'd probably be ORD out of the gate.
I came from another regional for a host of reasons, zero regrets.
Good Luck!

Any idea what kind of routing the UA agreement has? I.e., what locations will be supported out of ORD?

So if PHL is junior now would it be easy to get it as a new hire or are they gonna be closing down that base after others open?

Don't come to AWA for PHL. By the time you are through training it will be either closed or have very little flying.

PHL will go increasingly senior for FO's (because of the ones that live there) as we get closer to 02/2018.

The guy was complaining about how it only helps "super senior guys" who have more than 3,000 hours with the company. Nearly everyone on property today has that and realistically anyone hired today is going to have at least that before their CPP number comes up.

Think some the "super senior guys" aren't trying to leave too? The guy who's number 13 on the list recently interviewed at SWA.
