It varies a lot throughout the year. I’ve done a lot there on the 737 but haven’t seen it now for a while.

Atl-Cmh looks like md-90s. And southwest flies that route too for commuting options.

cant make any bets on what will fly the route after this summer when the 88 category gets more than cut in half.

73, 320, 7er, 220, or 717. Commuter roulette.

junior pilot in every FO category, after all pilots convert from all AEs.

765= 767-400
7ER= 757/767-300

ATL
350- 3/15
330-1/17
765-11/16

DTW
350- 7/16
330- 7/16

LAX
350-4/15

MSP
330-1/16

NYC
330-8/17
765- 2/19

SEA
330-10/16
7ER-9/21

Any category I did not mention had unfilled slots on the last bid and could have been bid by anyone on property (respecting seat locks)

Does that mean SLC was all unfilled or did the base get left off the list?

thanks for the data!

Basically for the next year or two after every AE there will be spots leftover for new hires in every base on the 220, 717, 320, and 737. Most likely also on the 7ER (757/767) as well. It'll just be up to the company as to what they dole out to each class. However, even a drop with good variety is still going to be 50%+ in NYC.

Yeah why post seniority numbers on fleets that literally had double-digit unbid positions. That's pretty much saying a NH can get it making a seniority number on said fleet useless.

and if you're wondering what fleets and seats does this not apply to:
B'S ---SEA 7ER, all 765, all 330, all 350

Every base had unbid spots from 737,320,22,717 for FO'S last bid. The hire dates of these fleets are useless to discuss because if you were eligible to bid on it, you could have had any base you wanted. And theoretically these spots and bases should be awarded to new hire classes but have yet to see it except for the 73N fleet.
