What base can new hires expect to get?

Detroit..............

Seriously?

Its really a crap shoot.

ATL is senior, some 2008 DOH's on RES. DTW is middle ground most JR line holder is 2008 DOH, IAD is junior, most JR line holder is 2011 DOH (I think even a few 2012 DOH's held a line). But with DFW in play now... hard to say but I think you all will fill the bottom of all 4 bases. I am an 2008 DOH and I'm on the upper 1/2 of the FO list in IAD, I'd barely hold a line in ATL/DTW. Your question would be better answered after we bid DFW.

When will dfw become part of the bid?

Had to fix that for you. CR7 is 2007 and sliding backwards still for reserve.

I'd say forget about ATL as a new hire (assuming the DFW bid draws down ATL -200 flying as we're guessing it will). There are several folks in the last new hire class that want it but got sent to DTW.

Also, a few from that class want to get to IAD and got sent to DTW. However, it looks like IAD still needs a few more pilots.

As others have said, best to wait for the DFW bid to come out to see where things stand. If we don't see a DFW bid by COB Monday, I would put $5 on the pass line rumors of more planes and flying coming our way being true (always backing it up with a $1 crap check bet, of course).

Hiring in any seat anywhere is a good thing for our profession........

SKYW Inc. is getting the Pinnacle 900s. That has already been announced. What's hasn't been announced is the distribution of the aircraftses betweenes the airlineses.
