Some 40+ captain vacancies would need to happen in order to make ORD as junior as LGA. ORD used to be a much larger base than it is now, creating this problem.

We’ll never compete with Skywest or any other airline west of the Mississippi with this business model.

I was told that IAH FO was attainable 8 months after DOH. Is this still accurate today or has this increased? Don’t even want to know how long it would take to hold CA lol

I think that's ambitious at best. Such a small base, and VERY little movement. And some here would tell you it might not even exist in 8 months.

This is true, however, there have been no actual FO vacacies for IAH since April. I believe those that have been awarded have been backfills. An April 2016 hire was just awarded a IAH Captain slot in January.

April's bid has 8/7/18 as the most junior composite line holder in CMH.

I can tell you that they've got 4 FO positions for the bid effective August 1st...

In the last couple of new hire classes CMH was assigned to half the class. Of course that is as of right now, but you should be able to get it right away.

Thanks guy's for the info. When you say composite line, is this a line made up of reserve and line flying?

Is this the case where pilots are assigned a base until they can hold an award at another base? Also, is parking paid for in your base?Thanks
