The current junior reserve FO at DFW is listed as number 3005 in th company. They have been displaced and the now current junior FO is listed to be at number 2967. This is out of approximately 3200 pilots. I would guess though that if you get hired at the beginning of a hiring wave you wouldn't take more than a few months to hold DFW.

DFW was offered to 3 out of 5 in the last class.

Would the chances of a new hire getting a New York base be pretty good? Seems like the junior base over there.

I would say that it is very likely since the most junior recalled pilot is 3181 and its headed to JFE (JFK FO Embraer)

Most junior will probably be going to MIA and NY. DFW might be tough as there were a few displacements.

yet the last class had DFW. I think if they really do hire 400 any base will be easy, you will be able to transfer before you finish class!

If Eagle is really hiring 400 get in now, because being on the front of a wave is everything. Beats Republic who pays $23/hr first year and not much more second year, and has almost the same upgrade time.
