The seniority list/DOH gets scrambled because there's a bunch of 2013's mixed with 1999 DOH's, then groups of 2013 DOH's, and alternating 1999 and 2013's, then fewer 2013's mixed with 2001 DOH's. It doesn't become pure 2013 DOH's until 12450 ish.

Current junior CA DOH, non AWA, is 3/2001. 10,8xx of 15,xxx. On property is 10,679 of 14,542 (73%). Junior CA percentage used to be 60-65%. Then it dropped closer to 70%. Now it's 73%. That's because the G4 FO job pays the same (FO line holder vs CA rsv) and gives you better relative seniority. So the junior CA is 3,863 numbers senior to the junior guy on the list. That's under five years to upgrade assuming typical retirement patterns.

I’m not seeing the same scramble. What I can see is the most senior 2013 hire is 11,6xx I see him surrounded by 2001 hires. The last of the 1999 hires are mixed with 2004 guys.

I also think the guys/gals that will see the quickest upgrades are those yet to be hired.

On the March bid? No way. There’s 80 displacements between closing ORD and CLT 75/76 which will halt some of the movement. Plus now bids will only be every 3 months or so.

I’d say early to mid 2019 for 2013 hires.

Yup. Because if the difference between junior CA and the bottom of the list is only 3,863 numbers guys hired shortly will advance quicker as their upgrade opportunity intersects with the retirement peak (800+ 2021-2026, 900+ 2023-2026). So the quicker upgrade window lasts for the next 2-3(4?) years of hiring.

Another factor is the increase in additional G4 a/c. Line holding FO pays the same as 76 hrs of G2 CA rsv pay. The decision to give up 75% relative seniority, in a great gig, to upgrade to junior n/b domestic CA on reserve, makes G4 FO's pause. It's a constant topic of discussion since 1538 of 1541 G4 FO's are senior to the junior CA in the system.

He said mid 2013 DOH for upgrade. There's a significant bump between early and mid 2013 DOH's -

4/2013 = 12,2xx
5/2013 = 12,3xx
6/2013 = 12,45x
10/2013 = 12,48x

So first 2013 DOH to 'summer' 2013 is 700-800 numbers.

I'd find the difference between junior CA last year vs 12 months later in 2017, add maybe 150(?) numbers for the increased retirements and that would be my guess for the junior CA number a year from now.

I don’t know where you got those numbers but your 6/13 hires seniority number is about 450 too high (as in they’re around 11,9xx).

You're correct. Missed that. But there's a second batch of 2013 hires at the seniority numbers I posted. So 2013 DOH slot into different seniority groups spread out over at least 600 numbers.

The senior 2013 hires might upgrade this year. But it will take a drop of 1,000+ numbers to reach the summer of 2013 new hires by the March vacancy run.

Did you leave out the G4 FO’s in PHL?

Yup. Brain fart. Only checked 777/787. :-/

I need to recheck. I’m apparently missing on a couple of cylinders...
