It covers the one and two year LOS marks. It doesn't cover newhire, 3 month, six month, etc.

You can see that the bases that are getting new hires also have the earliest opportunity to be a line holder.

Right now the senior bases are DFW and LAX for w/b's. MIA, LGA, PHL are the most junior. LAX is also fairly junior for CA.

A new hires upgrade is about 7-8 yrs from now. We have a known 5,800 retirements in the next 7.5 yrs. Only 6,400 Captains. There will be opportunities all over the place. Trying to predict, with a high degree of certainty, how those retiree slots will be filled is almost impossible. But if history holds true DFW and LAX will remain more senior while LGA/PHL/MIA stay more junior.

STL and BOS could be the next to go should there be consolidation
in the ranks. PHX might be further out but I wouldn't count that out either. Three megabases along with five equipment specific bases will be the most likely outcome in the next few years IMO.

Hey AA people!

Future pilot here, can someone update the current 737 bases? Thanks!

Every base except Phoenix, Philly,

Thanks! Is the Airbus everywhere?

not the Windy City

Not in Boston either

That's rich!

Thanks! For 737 and Airbus 319/320/321, where could I get as a base as a new hire?

LGA or LAX certainly look like the dumping ground for newhires. MIA to a lessor extent
