LAX and OAK are the junior bases with most of the recent growth being in the etops bid groups. So much so that we’ve had several displacements into these bases and the current flight attendant hiring window is targeted towards California residents only. Who knows what things will look like in a few months, but currently there are a lot of unhappy commuters.

Soooo I suppose I feel a bit silly asking, given how insane 2020 was and how current conditions are, but do you all still see OAK and BWI as the junior bases? With all the early outs and everything else, any ideas which bases may be first obtainable? Obviously, I've got quite a bit of time to kill between now and then (and I still have to get the CJO back). I'm so out of the loop after this last year. Is DEN still expanding a lot?

I'm still pumping money into my furlough fund. Aren't you?

True. But when mama starts complaining that I'm not home for whatever obligations I promised but failed to deliver, then I am officially at the in the dog house, and no amount of JA or reroute pay solves that problem.
If I were a single man or had a less demanding spouse, I'd be much more motivated by JA money.

We'll get a contract a week after training tells the board we can't fill new-hire training classes because of a lack of well qualified applicants. Later that day, the hiring guys will get sacked because obviously they're the ones losing us money that week. Then when SWAPA previews their billboard discussing in detail the new lower new-hire standards, Dave Ramsey will go on the air calling us greedy rats. That's how we'll know we've won, and the TA that drops a month later will only be 5-10% below industry standard.
