Personally I'd take Ord initially! You will be on reserve for a couple months no matter what, and the crash pad situation is way better and cheaper in Ord! Also, the train is easy to get to and from the airport! Then in the very next vacancy that you're allowed to bid in (there should be one every month for the foreseeable future) switch to MCO or DEN for a line...I would pick Denver (more commutable with red eyes, and lots of movement with upgrades in spring)! Good luck with your choice!

Also DEN is the largest base by FAR, so it has the largest open time pot to switch your schedule around with!

Do you guys think KPHL would drive the upgrade time down significantly?

No crystal ball here, but almost definitely!

Like someone else said, yes Denver is more senior but there are more trips, so when you do hold a line your opportunities for trip trading are fairly abundant. I was former eagle as well, and my QOL in terms of trip trades with open time has been better here than at eagle (FWIW I was based in MIA near the end so smaller hub). It may be too early to mention this, but when you start holding a line, pairings will vary so look closely. Some have short turns on the end/beginning of the pairing which are usually really easy to drop, while others may have deadheads that you can deviate from. I've been able to snag several "uncommutable" trips that actually have deadheads to my home city, so I can essentially just drive to work to pick up my trip

For those of you STILL looking at working for F9 - 10 out of the 20 pilots scheduled to begin training this morning decided not to show up for class.

Wow. You would think the low pay is deterrent enough for new hires-maybe this training contract is having some unintended effects

I was wrong. The class was full. We had a net loss of pilots last month though - due to pilots quitting.

The Nov seniority list shows no movement in two months. And today's class had a couple (which is normal) no shows.
