Is this still valid? Thanks.

No.
DTW. 350 is 4 years. 330, 4 years.
Lax. 777, is 4-5 years.
NYC. 330 is 4 years.
Sea 330 is 3 years.

Above times are approximate.
I know cause I just missed on 350 last bid, and I’m at about 3.5 years. . Just like 320 Capt in NY a while ago.

But it’s ok. Happy where I am right now

I was living the good life on reserve back then, lots of free-time. That was before this summer, seems like another life.

You mis-bid. Missed your chance. Dropped the ball. Had your eyes closed. Asleep at the wheel. It was October 2016 MOAB if I recall correctly - I was awarded ATL A320 Captain and I was hired in Q4 2000.

By the way, if you are a Delta pilot, your ALPA dashboard has this (seniority) info now too. It’s a pretty nice tool.

So if the goal is ATL as quick as possible, 717 and 73 in that order? Not counting 88. How long (approx) for new hires to hold a line in ATL 717? 73? Thank you.

As of now that is correct.

Hard to give you a definite timeline but easily within a year on the 717. 5 years ago it took me about 9 months to escape NYC. It could be as short as a month or two If you are on property at the right time with an AE dropping.
