DTW is senior. If you come to Endeavor plan on NYC - you may not see DTW for a year, but no one really knows how long it will take because you don't know how many in NYC senior to you would want DTW. Endeavor has a 1000 company time for upgrade so you need that before upgrading. It has been lowered to as low as mid 300s but now it is pretty much 1000 because new hires from 15 are qualifying for upgrade. Bottom line - don't plan on upgrading out of seniority unless we get new aircraft and don't plan on DTW for awhile.

I'm a July hire. They started giving everyone NYC back then. I just picked up DTW on the last vacancy bid. You'll potentially be in a better position to get DTW quicker since NYC is getting close to being staffed up, but you'll sit reserve for a while in DTW so if you don't live in the area then I recommend NYC (JFK at the moment) for holding a line very quickly. One guy in my class didn't sit a single day of reserve in JFK.
Can you confirm that the DTW aircraft options are the 200 & 700? Any pros/cons of either?

I'll be living about 45 mins from DTW so I'm not too concerned with sitting reserve. In fact, I'd probably prefer it. Being from the area, it's hard to believe that DTW is going somewhat senior.

Yep, meant 900. My bad. They still do ready reserve? I thought the short call callout was 2 hours. Sorry, I'm new to all of this.

DTW 200 FO movement is stalled completely because there is very little attrition off the top and no one is coming in at the bottom. DTW 900 FO has a little movement off the top as long time FO's either leave or upgrade so there is that.
Best guess is that in the 1st or 2nd vacancy of 2017 you will see some DTW FO spots open up. Not a ton but some spots will be there. There are those who will slam me for saying this but I would rather sit reserve the rest of my career here in DTW than have to commute to NYC. Living in base is 100% Quality of Life (QoL -> you'll see that a lot).
We are not getting "new" airplanes in '17 we are just getting the last of the 200's to bring us up to where Delta wants us to be. I imagine most if not all of those will be going to NYC because right now most trips out of DTW on the 200 send you to NYC. We are capable of taking 700's and E170/175's because the paperwork and manuals are ready but 9E is not ready to staff that yet. It would be quite the stretch for Delta and Endeavor to build NYC up and staff new air frames at the same time.
