I was hired Jan 16. In 2028/29 I'll be around 4000 on seniority list and that holds 777 and 787 CA in DFW based off of July vacancy bid awards. So 12-13 years is what I'm looking at in a vacuum.

Most guys in my squadron are at Delta and they have a couple of useful products (widgetseniority.com and lakeside-graphics.com) that they can use to see what numbers hold CA/FO on each aircraft and base. Does anything like that exist for AA?

That's wrong. Those junior guys have FINST next to their name which means they're instructors of some sort. The junior regular line 777 CA in DFW for July is seniority 1284.

Junior G4 is PHL 330, around 2000 I believe.

I have an XLS product that sort of does it... but I am reliant on someone to provide me a seniority list IOT keep it current. I can PM it to you tomorrow if you're interested.

I keep hearing about the fast upward seniority mobility at AA with the massive retirement #s on the horizon. But to help put that in perspective, would someone mind trying to answer the following:

Assuming age 35 hired today, only mandatory retirements, and no increase to age 65...

1) What would ballpark system-wide seniority # be at age 65?
2) Just using today's #s (knowing it'll change)...if junior G4 CA is around #2000 like posted above, roughly how many years for the same age 35 guy hired today to get there?

2) 17 years to #2000

There was a small one this spring. April's?? May? No clue why. Clear out a training back log? Rough estimate is each retirement generates 5 training events so that would mean 175+ each month. Perhaps 757/767 and S80 fleet reduction is reducing the replacement training churn slightly but it's still a significant number of training events.
