I was stunned that 777 Captain seats went so junior.
I guess nobody wants to be on reserve in NYC no matter what it pays.

BTW how many lines did you guys have last winter on the B side?

If I remember correctly there was about 335 or so pilots on the ER B side and about 290 lines. With all of the new planes we could see some domestic flying this winter or at least a lot of 4 day trips. Of course I don't know jack about planning so I could be way off.

Yeah I thought it was around 320 or so. Not sure how much of this flying they will keep up in the winter.

The winter flying drops in NYC a bit however they add more SA flying. They drop the monthly caps down to reflect the lower flying. We have had very little domestic flying in NY the last two winters. One trip for one month this winter if I recall.

Assuming its approximate percentage the junior 777 capt in NYC is now roughly 27% (top of list = 1% & bottom = 100%)...

Assuming date-of-hire he was hired in March of 1989...

So, you figure it out!
