Man you just cant help from answering all the questions around here. So helpful. As a 11/17 hire and a MIA CA I would say until 1JUN the junior MIA CA is about a Jan 18 hire.

Yeah whatever. Sorry for trying to help. Clearly the union seniority list isn't accurate.

The junior MCE on the union seniority list is ~1380 seniority number, DOH 7/2017. And the latest flow plan doesn't have anyone junior to him moving over to MCE.
Looking at the reserve list, looks like there are 6 MCE's who have moved there after my "reference point" from the union list.

Hey guys, I've got 1273 hrs of SIC 121 in a B727, BUT, I haven't flown for an air carrier in over 18 years. Think they would still consider me?

I've got an ATP, 4734 TT, 2914 PIC, and the 1273 SIC, but no turbine PIC. Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I was an FO for Express One Int. way back. Flew in Europe and the US.

Got my first class medical recently and I'm doing a BFR/IPC this week. What aircraft are they hiring direct captains into? Might give them a call tomorrow.

Thanks

Good luck!
