Just to add another data point, looking at the current seniority summary, the airbus currently has the most junior WB captains. Not sure if that’s the norm.

I know you’re right. Even if I get lucky and am #1 with my 97## it’s still no guarantee that what I’m interested in will be available.

BUT, if the last four of your SSN starts with a 5 or below, I would plan on not getting your first couple choices.

To tag on to the thread:
A buddy is awaiting an interview. His last 4 of ssn start with the dreaded zero.
He just got a new baby, and is trying to avoid the 11 in ANC. If he ends up getting it, can he defer his class date and try his luck with another base/aircraft assignment?
Also, if assigned the 11, what is the stipulation for the seat lock on the widebody for newhires?
