MIA is about in the middle seniority wise. from a quick glance is looks like this order from junior to senior:
ANC
HSV
CVG
LAX
MIA
JFK
PAE
IAH
there might be a slight variance to that list, plus or minus one spot but with the exception of ANC, which is way junior, and PAE and IAH which are really senior, the rest are able to be held around the 1 year to 1.5 year mark currently.

Well its a good thing I have an ATP then!
That's surprises me though, I would think they would wanna pick up the mil guys and just give them the ATP with the type.
I have read a couple different answers on this huge thread, but what is the story with the MIA base? I live down this way so if I was able to get picked up I would prefer to eventually be down here. As of today is it senior? junior? thanks

This pretty much what I was going to be asking next. I saw that article about the additional 767's, I was going to ask if additional hiring was required for them or if current staffing can handle them. Also, I saw on a previous post that all or most new hires are going 767 and no 74 is being offered at any base. Assuming this is still true?

Hi! And yet, you passed the test.

When i took the test, it was at the beginning. There was no gouge, no information, no thread on apc.com to research, and I had no one to help me pass the test. It thought it was quite difficult.
I recommend that guys try and get some other pilots to help them, with multiple computers and resources available to look up answers in the very little time available.
I have heard of a good number of pilots passing the test in this manner.

Since you seem to be of the impression the pilot groups control what the airlines do, furloughs will not be necessary at ABX if, as with any moral pilot group, the pilots would stop picking up open time and accepting "junior man" assignments. In fact, if that level of spine were actually shown, they could even recall some of the guys still furloughed while those junior to them have been recalled.

Boycott the new jets? How would one do that? Should I refuse to work and put my job at risk too? Would that help the situation? Will that make those mean management folks "give back" the airplanes? I don't think so.

If Atlas guys don't bid the new jets and 1224 makes a deal with Atlas to hire the ABX pilots who will probably be furloughed, then it would influence the situation.
