Senior bases
 

What’s the order of base seniority?

Thanks.

This answer to this question changes monthly. Where do you want to be?

these are just general historical idea’s:

CA: Im not adding ACY on the captains side because it’s so hard to place it as can be really senior but junior also, but you shouldn’t get stuck with it once you upgrade.

DFW/LAS
ORD
DTW
MCO
FLL

FO:

DFW/LAS
ORD/MCO/DTW
FLL
ACY

NOTE: recently ORD has been junior for FO’s

in general from most senior to junior for FO’s

DFW
LAS
MCO

DTW,ORD,FLL,ACY are all about the same

Just to add some info, DFW and LAS will go to FOs that were hired in June according to the latest vacancy. Decent amount of DFW FOs upgrading, leading to more spots.

Yeah assuming we continue to hire like we plan to any base will be obtainable within a few months.

The latest "what if" bid had ORD and DTW as the most junior. The most junior New hire is ORD. Since there is a bid every month and new hires come in behind you, by the time you finish IOE you will get your choice. No need to worry as a NH. DFW seems to be the most senior on this latest bid for FO's and DFW is going to new hires just completing IOE now.

The real question is which bases get me hires a line the fastest.

FLL forsure

There are a lot of senior FO’s in bases like DFW and LAS who can hold an upgrade but don’t want to commute to Florida or Midwest bases.

There are a lot of FO’s in Florida or Midwest bases who can hold LAS and DFW but they want a line.

Getting any base here isn’t an issue within 1-6 months usually, but how quickly you move up the base seniority varies.
