I really hope those numbers start moving soon

They definitely are moving. Someone hired 2 months ago is now more than 5% from the bottom of the list.

If this continues, which it should, this is a great place to start right now.

Have June lines been awarded yet?

If so, can anyone share line holder DOH for ewr, iah, ord?

12 days off. (Cue the ILIW whiz kids) who, incidentally, have to be senior enough to hold that special day off.

Per company comms,

1. 279 pilots hired this year already. That puts the 600 pilots goal by year’s end within reach.

2. 30 additional E145 upgrade slots coming up.

3. Rotor transition about to start and more than 100 Australians have shown interest.

All very good news!

What will those upgrades slots bring the upgrade down to?

If none of the people who bypassed upgrade last time and the next 30 take it, it puts the most junior captain at 1/15 seniority.

The thing about low time upgrades is that by the time you realize there are low time upgrades it’s too late.

Looking at the trend from the last bid as far a bypassing, it could possibly put it into 2016 hires.

For June most junior *hard line* in EWR went to a December 2017 hire. Next comes relief and reserve bidding.
