I'm JFK-based E90 and have been on reserve for the last 10 months. Looks like I might need to wait till April before holding a line.

After 10 months, how many guys below you on the list? On the 320 side, 40 senior to me are upgrading or vacating JFK. Any 190 movement in ny?

No clue, but if I had to guess I would say no earlier than this coming Fall 2014. They have a bunch of apps on file from this most recent window that closed in December.

Assuming all goes well on my interview on the 25th, I'd be looking at a commute out of DFW. Based on a cursory look, flights seem stacked in favor of BOS rather than JFK?

I would go BOS. We have a few flights on jetblue as well as a number on AA. JFK is rather limited and you'd be going to/from LGA most of the time.

I have to say close to 250 below me total. The problem is, they are running over 30% of the pilots in base as reserves. Most of the folks junior to me were smart and bailed to BOS already!!!!

I think there will be a net loss of about 11 senior to me according to the last system bid. Lots of folks headed to MCO, a couple upgrades, and a few transitions to the 'bus.

That is a pretty good assessment don't forget the 4 we have lost since the seniority adjustment cam out last month. You should have a line this summer.

Where is the most movement seen? I'd think with the airbus deliveries and majority of flying out of JFK, it would be jfk320. Is that not accurate?

I'd say that's definitely accurate overall, but not necessarily for the junior folks. Many 2+ year FO's are transitioning over to the Airbus, so relative seniority isn't moving as quickly as BOS E90. Nov '12 hires are holding about 50-60% on the Embraer out of Boston.
