Thanks for the info.

Unless things change drastically you'll be waiting a while anyway. Charlotte is a senior base. As an aside someone who can hold Airbus CA in NY will be 50% up the list on the FO side in CLT.

There are lots of people waiting for a slot there currently on property.

I would probably hope for E190 because the commute has a lot of flights and it would give you a line early on.

I have family in South Florida, so I was thinking Miami on the Airbus until I can hold something decent in Charlotte would be okay. I know South Florida can be a tough commute, but I can manage. Better thanscon commute.

You don't want to stay on the 73 either way it's horrible. Commute depends on where from. Easy commute from DFW to MIA.

Looks like a I'll be a flow through next year since I haven't gotten the call anywhere else yet. Trying to determine what the future may hold for me.

Most jr FO on bus in CLT is MAR 17 hire, most jr person to be awarded CLT recently was on Aug 31 vacancy is a Jan 17 hire...its probably the most senior narrowbody FO base in the system...that being said, movement over the next year should be crazy

I would also ad it's nearly impossible to predict movement here. Seems things don't move in a status forever then there's a big swift movement forward at random.

Don't count on it.
Lots of L-AA guys are still coming to CLT.

CA’s or FO’s?

Both I bet

Although there really haven’t been any openings in the last 2 bids for FO’s

I personally know 5-6 FO’s who moved to CLT in last year and are commuting and waiting to get in. Betcha there are a lot more out there too, especially since a lot of the flows were based and live there too

If I was a newhire, I’d be realistic. It’s gonna be a long while most likely (unless 737 comes in and I have no clue what that will do)

Fly21 08-22-2018 03:57 PM

Doesn't really matter anyway. When AA figures out what they want to do in CLT a new hire could hold it under five years anyway. About 90% of our senior pilots are gonna kick the bucket in the next several years so don't worry.
