Big tipper? You meant "stripper" right? ��

How senior is DCA?

It's pretty senior in that it's small (80 737 CA/FOs, even less on the S80) so movement is very slow. Bottom pilot here is around mid-8000s and I only see bid awards into here maybe every 3-4 months. Took me 6 months to get awarded it from when I put my bid in (I got withheld) and I am in the high 6000s. So might be a while to get awarded it...of course, with all the movement around here, that could change overnight.

The good news, then, is DCA is the junior base for US Airways. You can likely get it in Indoc (if not, shortly thereafter) and it's your fastest path to a line (outside of the E190, of course.)

Interesting. It'll be "fun" to see how the bases settle out after SLI!

Anyone have guesses on how long the SLI will take? It looks like its not going so well right now...

I believe the proper unit of measure for that would be in years. :o
Say two to three.

How big a difference will a new-hire see based on whether an Airways or AA hire, given a couple years until SLI completion. Dumb question?

I don't think it's a dumb question. I'm curious as well.

I'm a US new hire and curious as well.

"Big a difference" in what? How soon you hold a line? What your merged seniority number will be? Pay in year 2? ???
