Of course this can change but that's what it is as of last month. Seniority is about the same for each - low 700's to high 600's.

FO to hold a line is about 9 months in IAH and 8 months in DFW.

Now I said this changes. I held a line at 6 months as an FO in DFW. So your mileage may vary but this is an accurate picture as of right now.

All CRJ new hire FO's are spending 3 months in IAD but almost all that want out get out of there after the 3 months. PHX used to be our senior base but it's swapping around to DFW right now on the CRJ side of things - ignoring IAD as that's a whole different kettle of fish. A lot of our CLT guys have stayed at IAD and the base has a pretty stable selection of Captains with little movement.
