Just compare our rates to United.

First year here is 61% of United’s first year.
Year 3 FO in 70% of a United year 3 320 fo
Year 5 captain here is 81% of a year 5 320 United CA and the gap gets smaller from there. Percentage wise FO’s here took the biggest hit. Senior people can complain all they want but they got far more percentage wise than our FO’s.

Yea I see what you mean. We need to get that 3-year FO to 71% instead of 70%.

How long should I expect to be on reserve if I choose Dallas base?

Right now it looks to be about a little over 1.5 years to hold a DFW line as an FO from
hire date, of course this is a moving target.

You won’t hold DFW once out of training. So you first course of action will be trying to get DFW Reserve

Your second paragraph seems to be difficult to understand. No DFW out of training, but shoot for DFW reserve? I can’t follow what’s being conveyed. Lol could be me though

he means you wont hold dfw out of training, so first goal would be just getting based in dfw

Copy that. Probably the same for LAS too I’d imagine.

It'll only get worse once MCO is fully staffed and they move to close ACY and open BWI. It'll get even worse when the 737Max is brought on property and all upgrades and new hires are going into a different base and fleet. NK QOL is going to be Luke warm **** poor for a long time for new hires and new Captains.

If there is a second fleet, there’s no way to know which base(s) it will go to first. Movement for some, not for others.

With a single fleet, two year upgrades are gone, but a new type could mean quick upgrades for some depending on what plane it actually is.

Bases closure/opening? Farrr to pilot specific to call. If it is your suggested “rumor de jour” of BWI for ACY, that’s bad news for what, the dozen pilots in that little flying club? And good news for the ever revolving door of 20 new hires who have to do their month there. BWI is far more commutable for the majority.

We are growing and hiring and expecting more planes and people here still swear the sky is falling
