I see. I tried to apply to the Feb window and as soon as I hit ‘apply now’ it redirects me and it says ‘Success your application has been submitted’. But when I go to my dashboard, it only shows my Jan submission. Is that normal? Any one can help me with that? Thanks in advance

Going deep is one thing. Going unfilled or to a newhire is another matter.

And the money is probably close.
There's no incentive to upgrade in that scenario. A scenario that doesn't exist at Alaska.
And it still goes deep here.

In other news, someone put a seniority calculator on the company forum with regards to lines.
As it stands today, It takes approximately 17 years to hold a hard line as a captain at this company. Anyone who thinks paper bidding gives the pilots more control needs to have their head examined.

I think you overestimate the amount of purely ambitious pilots that exist. The quality of life hit from going from senior WB FO to junior NB captain is huge.

So now you have widebodies going to newhires and unfilled CA vacancies on the narrowbody fleet.
In United's case, it's probably because they are the only legacy airline to have airport ready reserve.

Except in Swayne Martin's United newhire March 1 class, the bottom choices were 787, 777, and 767. As a 25 yr old, he got the 777.

17, 7… just add ten years to fit your agenda.🤔 By Summer we should easily hit six…. Don’t tell anyone though. Yup, any new hire coming to Alaska will never hold a line as a CA…their entire career here🙄
