I am now beginning to wonder for how long ... I haven't packed my bags and family for a move to ONT just yet. But we are considering getting the house sold for the eventual ANC bomb. Since I don't do commutes very well.
I could be wrong, but we may be the only remaining 2007 hires in a front seat in the lower 48 ...
I haven't looked at a seniority list to know for sure

CC,
I was surprised it cut that deep, but I looked at the numbers and saw that I am junior to every non-FE in the lower 48 save those below me in ONT. I was a Feb07 hire.... I think I'll have 7 below me in ONT. Looking at ANC real estate...the family and I fully expect to go. It would have almost been easier if we got yanked now, just to get it over with.

TRUE, so true ... I feel the same way. Those 7 below you must include me and my 4 friends from March '07 !
At least we are not on probation sent to the panel ...
But the way I see it is there are 20+ more classic FOs that will have the seniority to bump the 20 most junior out of anything in the lower 48 when they park the airframes after peak.
Maybe I should be looking into ANC real estate too ...

Other than that, I'm sorry you guys have to go through this. Hopefully, it will be short-lived, but those of us here on the -8 welcome you! We'll take care of you.
