The junior Denver captain got it via base trade, not an award by seniority

Aren't trades awarded in order of seniority? I'm not sure that distinction matters other than the fact that for DEN, you have to wait for someone to leave.

Absolutely not! My point is they change their minds day to day. Sorry for the confusion.

It is by seniority, yes, but base trades have historically let more junior people into DEN than normal vacancy bids

Are folks really going straight to a line in MIA and PHL?

Yes.

ATL now most senior base for FOs, interesting.

Knock on effect of the ORD closure. A lot of professional gear slingers ended up in ATL driving it more senior.

Yes and no. Full disclosure, sometimes there are one or more savvy bidders that can skew the numbers a bit as is the case with Vegas. It’s more senior than it appears but a couple of people bid well. Or, there’s one in a class that gets a line where the rest of the individuals in that persons class did not as is the case with MIA. That person got a line but 22 people in their class beneath them didn’t.

Thank you. So new hires are currently only serving a max of 1-2 months of reserve in the junior bases?
