Anyone? Is there a good amount of 1-3 day trips or are all trips mostly 4 days long?
Also, how senior is PHL on CA side? I do realize that things may (and most likely will) change in 1-2 years before I even get eligible to upgrade.

The biggest factor about PHL as a base is that it's small. That's about to change in a week when the CVG lines get redistributed. Unclear now whether PHL will grow slightly (likely?) or get all of CVG's lines and triple in size (unlikely). With PHL being small, seniority there is really idiosyncratic. 5 or 10 guys who live in Philly could swing it way senior. It's unlikely to ever be junior because they've created a mass of senior pilots displaced from CVG who are looking for R1 slots. That will take a couple years to clear out.

There's no rhyme or reason to what pairings a base might have for a given month. Trips are definitely primarily 4 days.

Doesn’t particularly matter if cvg guys go to phl or not. It’s relatively accessible to a lot of people (unlike orf for example)
because of that it’s really unlikely r1 will ever be particularly junior. The cvg/day mess only exacerbates the situation.

So yeah it will be interesting to see the changes that's for sure.

There will be some domino effects, but not a huge shift.
