Captain base seniority
 

Dedicated thread for keeping track of captain base seniority trends. I'll add updates when notable changes occur.

you the real MVP

March 2019 upgrade awards
 

Most junior upgrades awarded, effective March 2019

Base: Junior awarded - Difference from last bid junior awarded
LGA: SEP 2016 (just under 2y 6m) - 7m
EWR: AUG 2016 - 7m
PIT: FEB 2016 - 4m
CMH: FEB 2016 - 6m

The November Captain vacancies closed early this month with the junior award going to someone on property 2 years, 2 months.

The December vacancies will close on Dec 5th and we should see the results a few days after that.

Just to clarify, are you seeing a 2 year, 2 month upgrade from DOH to effective date, or to posted date?

The bid that closes on the 5th of every month is effective 4 months later, and upgrade training begins about 1 month before the effective date. A memo was sent out earlier in the month about the bid that closed November 5th, effective March 2nd. From this I was able to see that the junior upgrade was just shy of 2 years, 6 months (DOH to effective date).

Via the posted date, so that individual should be a line captain by 2 yrs 6 mos.

I forgot this was CAPTAIN base seniority, and almost had a stroke. Thanks for sharing!

To piggyback on this with the December 2018 Awards/Seniority List now published, the most junior captain backfill award was an 11/29/2016 hire. This means that individual was awarded, for all intents and purposes, right at 2 years, meaning 2 years 3 months until they go to training, and 2 years 4 months until they're on the line.

The number is certainly coming down...just how far it will go (and if it stays there) I suppose is anyone's guess.

I hope it stays right where it’s at...
