Junior WB FO guesses?

nyc 330 should be interesting. But it will have to drop down a bunch to reach nyc 767-400 at sub 13,000.

From what I’ve been hearing in my domestic circles, I think widebody FO will go senior and narrow body captain will go really, really junior. The junior narrow body captains are really tired of the schedules and are tired of the staffing.

Im a 2010 hire and there are only 39 people senior to me with a bid in for LAX320A for 30 positions. LA is going to be the new NY.

Well the trips are horrible for now, so that makes sense!

Any guesses on junior captain systemwide?

1.5 -2 years. Toss up on equipment but I'm thinking either ATLM88A, NYC717A, or NYC220A

Yup, everyone very wary about the LAX trips. That category won't return to normal til the NEO and Hawaii flying arrives.

I’ve been saying that since they announced the 320 base there. Trips are awful, covering SNA makes reserve there horrible, and hotels are just as bad as NYC.

That aside, we are not parking widebody aircraft....shouldn’t the postings be keeping up with retirements.....as well as adding staffing for deliveries?

Ps...I’m only looking at A positions.

Expected backfilling by Korean Air pilots

220, 737, 320. In that order.

320 in SLC has been stagnant, hasn't had new hires on it for years. It's becoming the preferred NB for the younger half of the pilot group. LAX 320 trips have been bad, and many folks are switching to SLC. SEA 7ER has too many FOs, and SLC 7ER has the writing on the wall. I'd expect a good chunk to slide over to the 320. Could take awhile to get a base transfer. 220 & 737 have been allowing newbies to transfer in on their first AEs. Should stay that way.

I think a good number of the SLC7ER will wait for the SLC330 base to open, because that's where the international flying is headed there...…..
