An example would be if you had a VSA posted in January you’d be effective in April so three months out.

Immediately, it’s very junior.

And will likely remain that way unless we open a Portland, ME or Buffalo, NY base. No rumors of either of those 2 cities have been circulating. A more realistic base that could mess up PHL as the most junior is CLE. That is a possibility in the future and would likely go junior to PHL.

Default Junior base

While true a few months ago; PHL is more complicated than just the ‘junior base’
My seniority can hold at least a relief line, and likely a hard line in MCO or DEN. Long call in ORD, nothing in LAS and short call in PHL.
The situation is somewhat dynamic 🤓

RDU is going to be the Junior when it opens.

I don’t think RDU will be junior to PHL. Maybe initially, but I believe RDU is more likely to see guys pick up and move to it. PHL is mostly a base for commuters. I agree that those 2 bases would be the 2 junior bases for a long time though.

Can we rehash this please? Are there new rumors of a RDU base?
