They have been telling just about every person who interviews and every new hire class that DCA is the new base. I'm not 100% sure why they are waiting to announce it?

The flow is going to increase in 2017. Do I think it should be 10+ /month? Yea that would be nice. But we are also still expanding more rapidly than the other WOs and we have a lot more aircraft to take on still. And personally, I would rather see higher pay and contractual improvements before flow increases. How about a min day and a trip/duty rig? That would take care of the inefficient trips some of us get.
Oh really. It'll increase? To what?

I realize that. If they are wanting us to continue to grow at the rate we were in 2014/2015 and account for attrition they are going to have to upgrade quite a bit. I hope we can reach 7 /month by the summer. It will be tough though and that number is tied to a lot of factors that aren't in the pilot group's hands, so we'll see. But I am hopeful. If the classes stay filled and more airplanes begin arriving then I see no reason why an increase in the number flowing shouldn't be expected.

A rough look at the numbers - attrition in the last month was 27+.
There are still quite a few people that flowed that are still on the seniority list.
About half were off of the top half of the list.
That means that if we are getting 2 new hire classes a month in the mid 20's, then one class is only covering attrition while the other is growth.
I look forward to seeing TallFlyer's analysis of it.

If DCA is the new base, would it possibly be the junior base until the slots get filled or is it likely that current pilots would move? As a potential new hire I might be starting training in the next couple months and I'm just trying to guess where I'll end up first. I'd honestly prefer DCA but DAY would be my next choice.
