In my opinion, and maybe obviously based on company statements and previous information published, the company is making a move towards the east.

So with pretty minimal hiring….8 mos to hold it. Time will prob change a lot with 5-600 new hires coming on line next year.
wait are you saying WN or UA?Originally Posted by flyguy81
FWIW this Dec vacancy bid has +6 to MCO FO and the projected award shows an April ‘25 hire being the plug.So with pretty minimal hiring….8 mos to hold it. Time will prob change a lot with 5-600 new hires coming on line next year.

WN. Final award changed a little due to displacements. Still less than a year to hold MCO FO vs 3-4 yrs at UAL. Anything can change at any time but if your goal is MCO ASAP, UAL isn’t where to go. Quicker upgrade….they have the edge.

in MCO, maybe not. I’m not sure what the upgrade at WN is, but a new hire won’t see MCO CA for a LONG time, barring any fleet changes. Originally Posted by flyguy81

Based on the December bid that just came out, the junior MCO Captain at WN is, at the moment, right under 9 years. System-wide, junior Captain is at 8 years, based in BWI. (Junior in both seats was traditionally in OAK for years, but that seems to have changed lately to BWI.)Originally Posted by JTwift

If it’s longer than 8ish years then WN has the edge there too. I’ve no idea what time to upgrade in MCO is there but upgrade overall is quicker. Originally Posted by JTwift

of course upgrade overall is quicker. But this discussion is about MCO. Unless something changes, UA captain in MCO is going to be a long time for a new hire now. Originally Posted by flyguy81

You never know. 10 yrs ago it was over a decade to hold 737 DEN at UAL. 4 years ago they had street CA’s. Minute you think you got it figured out…
