How senior is DFW?
Currently, what is the seniority/hire date for DFW's most junior 175 FO, 145 FO, 175 CA & 145 CA? (I'm especially interested in gaining a better understanding of how senior DFW is for CA's on both 175's & 145's right now.)
Thanks in advance.

That being said a lot of water to go under the bridge in the next 6 months or so with forced upgrades currently happening so that number could swing significantly

Many thanks, Havick206 & HouP. What's the best guess about how that number might move following the forced upgrades? (i.e., roughly how many forced updates are anticipated?)

From what I can tell listening to new upgrade Captains on the 175, they are on reserve but being flown a lot. Hopefully this new upgrade cycle will ease the pressure on them.
Sorry I cant speak much to the other airframes. QOL I feel depends the most on where you live. If you live in Dallas and have been an FO for a bit, sitting reserve on the 175 will keep you home a lot. Plus you can bid TDY for ORD while it lasts and get all of those perks.

Great question and certainly one of interest to me as well

Thanks a lot, AZ PilotMike. I don't mean to be a pain in the butt, but any chance you'd be good enough to quantify what "slow" means to you? (i.e., for both 175's & 145's, currently roughly how many months/years until possible to hold DFW as FO, until upgrade, until it's possible to get back to DFW as CA) Even an estimate or your best guess/rough feel would be helpful here!
