Just curious what’s the pairing number of the trip that ends at or near midnight?

Don’t know if it was a 5 day but I saw one that ended with a DH to Detroit that got back to base at like 11:45 PM.

D7200 and D7201 are two examples. There are about a dozen of them.

This is based on the last published seniority list.

Junior DTW 900FO is a 3/2020 hire. There was no hiring between 3/2020 and 3/2021, so that is either 1.3 years seniority or 60 pilots from the bottom the list.

If your awarded the 200- it will be 1.5 years to hold DTW 900, but you’ll be in DTW the entire time. Junior NH is DTW200.

Hence trying get insight from people working here so i can see where i see myself. But hey i totally respect people who are aiming for whatever comes first their way especially after the covid turmoil.

Appreciate all the insight though

You make it sound so easy switching to a “major.”

CVG based pilots:

How is living in the Northern Kentucky area? I'm thinking about bidding there and seems like it is un-commutable with out losing a day at each end. How's the flying out of there?
