If you are a commuter being one of the most jr captains is going to be pretty miserable, if you move to that base it’s not so bad. I’ll never understand why commuters take the first upgrade and then complain about all the things that go with being super junior.

This is importantly to understand, for sure. While not a captain upgrade, I just finished the 777 FO transition 3 day ago. I was awarded the triple in July. Pretty much two complete vacancy bids have closed since being awarded (the most recent closed today). As someone else said-awards are 4-6 months from beginning training.

What are that around nowadays? 2500 pilots?

I'm particularly happy we're hiring a lot of pilots from NK because they will bring a lot of fresh perspective in prior to negotiations on our next CBA. NK has/had some pretty aspirational QOL items in their contracts over the years. The more we can dilute the APA gene pool the better, especially in DFW.
