[One hint...the closest AA hub to DCA.]

DCA has grown from 29 to 59 lines in the last 5 months. I expect it to be well over 100 lines by mid to late summer.

In all the other domicilies, the time for FO's to hold Round 1 have been steady and have decreased. If you are new to the company, or still in training, it's probably best not to bid Charlotte if you want to get off reserve.

This trend has been going on for the last few months despite the overall number of pilots increasing. It appears the number of lines have been decreasing at the same time.

Look at the chart that MaCrOs just posted. CVG, DAY, and DCA are all the least amount of time on reserve (a couple months - those hired and started class in May/June will be Round 1 line holders in November. New hire training takes approximately 3 1/2 months).
Aircraft doesn't matter. We all fly all 3 airplanes, there are not separate lists. This way there are no junior or senior airplanes, just one list. If you want to fly the 200, you can bid for the 200. If you want to just fly the 700/900, you can bid those trips.
