11/1/17 seniority list shows 14,502. That’s what I used.

Add 88(?) new hires this month (14,590) , subtract retirees in the next two months (70-80)(14,510-14,520), and the next new hires will probably be 14,500 (nearest 100).

Default Seniority list

Where do you find the most accurate and updated seniority list?

MIA D, 73% December bid, 15 days off, 85 hrs. Not bragging, just comparing.

The list is updated around the 7th of every month and lives on the APA website.

Just counting days doesn’t tell the whole story. Are your 15 days of work non-commutable with early starts and late finishes? Do his start at 2000 on day one and end at 0800 on the last day?

Heard about the AA 757 that stalled over the Amazon?

How much do you know about Airbus? Funny thing is.... All Captains I flew with (lots of them with more than 10k+ hours on the 73) that flew the 73 told me that they will never go back it.

Anyway, back to the subject.

The 737 is terrible in the comfort category. Cramped, noisy, fatiguing. I've flown the airbus for years. Love flying it. Doesn't mean I don't think two side sticks that move independently aren't dangerous in a startle, upset situation. It would be an easy fix to have them mirror each other. But then airbus would be conceding that it was a poor design. Literally the only control one pilot cannot see the other pilot manipulate in the cockpit is the stick.

But I guess it doesn't matter what we think.

Well, at least it would be nice if the offside flight control indicator on the PFD functioned inflight with AP off. (Or does it and I just haven’t realized it!?)

That is a good point. 3 of my 4 trips are not commutable on day one so I will either ttot, drop or commute in the night before.
