I'm also 1850 from the most jr CA with 970 FO's ahead of me bypassing.

I'm DEN based and would be 85% at UAL on the 737.
This seems to be the case with SW, that your bidding senority is higher in most bases, especially the desirable ones. Except ATL compared to Delta.

I think it's 3 years at AA to hold DFW.

I think a 1998 hire at United is a rsv captain in IAH, and 1999 hire is rsv captain in DFW at AA, probably both in their mid 50's.

Do y'all think a 98/99 SW guy would be off Rsv in HOU/DAL?

At AA DFW has been an option for new hires the last few months on the 80. Junior 737 is a 1/17 hire and trending down.

The seniority picture at the various bases is skewed from the seniority integration. I’d expect maybe 6 months to DFW as the movement starts to accelerate.

At least. I'd bet more like 15 years.

With our new contract 1.5 years ago the number of FO's bypassing upgrade has increased. It used to be that the most junior Captain on the master seniority list was right at 59%. For the June bid the most junior Captain is at 61.16%. (5761 out of 9419)
So, with 9419 pilots now that is an additional 203 F/Os that are bypassing upgrade compared to what was going on before the new contract.
I think that the number is going to go even higher -- I think over the next 18 months that we will see it level off at around 63% seniority for the most junior Captain on the master seniority list.
Good news for those that want to take the first available upgrade.

Default 1st Year Pay Here vs SWAPA

A friend of mine works for SWA and showed me his pay rates on the SWAPA site. It shows 1st year FO pay at $69 per hour vs $79 shown on this site. Typo? Different way to calculate? Some other reason?

SWA 1st year pay is $69 per “trip” not hour. The $79 is an estimated conversion to what it would be if it were hourly

"trip" rate x 1.149 = "hourly" rate. We like to make things confusing.
