So- I’m an Aug 22 hire.
Currently there are 300 NB CAs junior to me. By Sept 1st, there will be about 450 junior to me (already awarded/awaiting training/etc.).
right now there are only 60 WB FOs junior to me. By Sept 1st there will be 64 junior to me (already awarded/awaiting training/etc.).
The first time I could have been awarded 73 CA was for DCA was on the July 2024 results (OCT, NOV, DEC 2024 class dates). I think the next two or three bid cycles went senior to me at all bases.
I guess what I’m saying is that seats move at different paces and different directions.
You really can’t use anyone else’s experience to manage your expectations.

Sumer is coming up is one guess. The other, and most likely, the school house needed to lighten numbers for a few classes.

I honestly wished we just operated like the mob - we have our hubs and they have theirs - and we stay out of each other's business and just print money lol.
I remember Parker got in trouble with the SEC for even suggesting capacity discipline.
Airlines' undisciplined talk may have led to antitrust probe: experts

From: one DUI away from running the airline
When I was looking a few weeks ago, it looks like our flying for this year is +5-10% YOY in block hours. It looks like they are finally tired of UA just adding flights with impunity and taking our YOY growth.

Hey guys. Would someone mind letting me know how long it takes to get CLT and to hold a line in CLT on the bus vs 73? I’ll be in one of the next classes and my local airport only flies direct there so just trying to get an easier commute.

Just on our forum alone, we have post after post after post about how mismanged we as a company are, and I'm sure at the end of the day, DAL and UAL suffer their fair share of mismanagement. Could you imagine how maginified that would bexome if the federal government was to take over the big 3 legacy airlines?
