Reference point:
LC is Feb 2025 for LAX 737
Line is Jan 2025 for LAX 737
It’s all going to come down to what your class is with this new training spree starting in August. If you’re in the first classes you can see what your class has for base options and then keep a close eye on the trailing classes and watch where junior classes are going, and try to get there in the next base bid. Bottom line is your junior and need people under you, it’s why PHX 737 and ORD 320 was great the last 3-6 months, but that seniority is slowing starting to creep with senior pilots rolling in with the 9/1 and 12/1 bids.

The 8/20 class seems full, latest CJO I’m seeing is 1/14/25. They seem to be filling the 9/3 class, latest CJO I’m seeing there is still mid-January for now. Everyone with January CJOs seem to have gotten the email to update drug screening in late June. I’d reach out to Recruiting if you haven’t gotten any emails to get drug tested or update your app.

CLT on the other hand is just poor. Storms happen all through spring/summer, fall can bring 1-2 weeks of sub CATIII morning weather, and winter weather is basically mostly ice/freezing rain.
ATL is far enough south they avoid most of the ice and for some reason avoids most of the TS delays that CLT gets.

TBF it's rare for DFW to get slammed like it has over the summer. It happens every 5-6 years but it's very atypical. April/May yes DFW can get hit hard with storms.

It's big enough to handle both of those. Next flight you work into DFW see how many people are staying and how many are connecting and that will tell you that we have more then enough lift to bring people in and out of the city. The connecting passengers are the problem and is causing all these catastrophic irops. Time to start using PHX and ORD more instead. We lost a LOT of premium customers by whoever made the disastrous decision to shrink ORD a few years ago.
