That will soon change. The senority list slows to a crawl once you break 2500.

At the mid-seniority range the E175 and CRJ aren't a lot different, but for new hires the E175 is far far senior.
Most junior line holder in ORD is 7 months. With 30 deliveries by the end of 2016 it will drop.

I beg to differ. 33 guys left last month with seniority numbers below 2500.

As someone else pointed out, reserve time is under a year for ORD. For March, new hires from the May classes have a line in ORD. Obviously, this can all change.

If anyone here that isn't at OO and wants the 175 LAX, it will be a while. 37 have been awarded it, and 69 on the transfer list want it (37 of those 69 have it listed first). So even if they let a few real junior guys sneak into LAX, they'll be on reserve for a long time.

Yeah or just go to compass and get LA out of training and be a lineholder probably in a few months... there are pros and cons of both places but if you live in LA it's kind of a no brainer. same thing if you live in SLC... you should probably go to skywest... (of course I will say that compass has historically switched bases quite often, but unless a massive amount more 717s come out west, probably safe to say that LA is gonna stick around for awhile especially with the american stuff.)

With the AA 700's going to LAX and 19 DL 175's getting dumped into the West Coast (how many 190's in SEA??) the writing is on the wall....for CPZ.. On the West Coast.

Any of you guys Patriot fans??

Oh wow! 7 CRJ700's! We'd better watch out! Compass isn't going anywhere on the west coast, but whatever makes you feel better.

I am interested in what makes you such an expert on what AA and DL have planned. I'm so glad we are able to learn from you.

You don't have to be an expert sport. Look at the facts.

SKW gets 19 175's, announced to be flown on the West Coast. DL is buying a bunch of 190's, announced be flown out of SEA. Now you tell me unless they start doing 3x formation SEA-SJC service and boarding airplanes on the freeway in LA and in the SEA MX hangar what do you think is going to happen?

The whole "isn't going anywhere" attitude is pretty naive, especially when dealing with DL. Which makes sense considering you were flying a SkyHawk 6 months ago.
