What is the best equipment for getting SLC ASAP? I understand the 73 and 220 are junior right now, but what about future growth? I see a lot of 220s and 321s being bought.

220 is all new aircraft.

321 is some new / some replacements.

220 is more junior than the 737/320 in SLC.

Having said that, I foresee SLC220B stagnating for a couple years. When SEA220 opened, almost everyone that doesn't live in SLC bailed, and the base was left with 80 B's. To me, that means that the people still there care more about QOL and probably won't move on as fast as other bases/fleets. CR has already said they expect 80 crews for summer 2022, so no growth either despite the new planes coming on.

There'll be some turmoil in the bottom 20-30%, but I wouldn't expect to get senior quickly.

No, you won't know. I've heard of guys getting pulled out of indoc because of something that came up.

They sent you background check documents prior to your interview?

Should potential new hires expect this timeline to extend as the holidays approach?

Yea typically the Holidays slow everything down. Even when we have been hiring max levels November, December and January hires typically get their start dates stretched out.
