Mega Bid Final Numbers
 

Now that the bid is complete lets take some guesses. How long will the sub 3 year 757 and sub 4 year WB captains continue? The last 3 bids over the past 5 years have had sub 3 year 757 captains. What will the new bases on this bid look like in next bid? Grow? Stay the same? What will the FDA's look like next bid? Grow? Shrink? Stay the same? This discussion will hopefully give some in-site for new hires and for those in the app pool this discussion should help with some foresight for future decisions.

Yes, no, maybe...

I know one thing for sure, the growth and seniority progression here now is absolutely staggering...

There is a reason left sest goes so junior

What’s the reason?

Go look at the calendars of some those on the bottom... It ain’t pretty!

You can make more money as a WB FO in some cases, probably more time off too.

On the FO side the new bases left some staggering vacancies. I suspect there may need to be a cleanup bid before summer of 22...maybe once we can see actual bid packs there will be more willing to swap to OAK 76 and ANC 77?

They will just stuff new hires there.

the last two bids have had sub 2 year 75 Cpts..

As a commuter, such as myself, I am sure it doesn't look pretty. As someone who has also lived in base, that schedule then looks really nice for a local. That's why commuters usually turn down the Jr. early upgrades and instead gain seniority in the right seat to get deadheads. It works out for everyone.
