The OP was asking about the junior group IV FO DOH/domicile NOW not two years ago.

Does Airways displace every winter then re-award in the summer? That sounds like a nightmare for a junior pilot.

I have even had Delta try to kick on my own hotel van.
Of course I told them they can ride with ME if they want.
Their hubris knows no bounds.

Does it count is some of those pilots are still getting paid group IV FO pay NOW as an FO on the mighty 190?

I didn't know Delta Air Lines pilots could be bothered to take a hotel van, even if it's their own. I was under the impression they always have an Escalade waiting for them at the curb. Or sometimes at the jet.

It's coming, and a lot quicker than you think.

Just curious what the junior CA DOH is on the narrow body Airbus at AA/US.

LUS is on 1989 hires for AB CA. I think LAA is 1999. At LUS there aren't a lot of people that were hired between 1990 and 2007

There were quite a few people hired between 1999-2001 but most of them never came back from furlough.
L-US is now approx half the size it was prior to 911.
