My FO last week was a 49 y/o new hire. Just got bid for SEA 75/76. 2nd year pay is $136. Think about it.

Here's last week's class drop at Delta:
2 nyc er
4 nyc 73n
5 slc 73n
8 atl 717
10 atl m88

This weeks class drop:
ATL
4 x ER
3 x 73N
11 x M88
5 x 717

LAX
3 x 73N

NYC
10 x 320
4 x 717

There's a seat lock on the aircraft you are awarded for 2 years. If you get an MD88, Airbus or 717 you're not going to get seattle for a few years.

The last new hired to get SEA was the first week of February and there were only 2 openings.

Generally speaking it’s about 2-12 months to get to Seattle depending on published bids and what airplane you got in the drop.

Yes, most junior in Seattle is the 737, but barely, the 7ER is very close and a much bigger category size wise at this time. So either should get you to SEA in short order if not offered in initial.

There have been 7ER in class drops for SEA so they are basically the same.
