Historic's are probably:

IAD in 6-12 months
ORD in 12 months plus
CLE a long time relatively

In all seriousness there is alot of movement rite now thru vacancy bids so its very hard to say what the future time lines will be. The bases y’all mention are the typical herd paths.

Thanks for the Intel. Any better platform (75/76) for quicker movement depending where you want to go or do the times stay about the same?

Not sure of your question - are you asking if there is significant difference in movement between the 757 and 767? The answer is neither as they are both considered the same equipment category.

Seniority will always come faster over the long term in growth fleets. 737 is growing FAST. 320 is effectively stagnant. 756 will be shrinking.

In the short term - movement is anyone’s guess as the airline staffing stabilizes post-pandemic.

Edited to add - the best strategy as a new hire is to get a narrow body. If a 756 spot opens up in the base you want before a narrow body then you can bid up to the 756. However if you bid 756 you won’t be able to get into your desired base even if there are open narrow body spots due to a 2 year equipment freeze from going down.

That answered my question, thank you! Sorry for the poor wording, meant 737/320 vs 75/76. Sounds like the best strategy is get to your preferred base first, then try working into a different platform. The seat lock is definitely something to factor in. Have a great week.

Is there anywhere a running tally on what remains unfilled from that vacancy?
my understanding few have been filled. I personally want ORD but would be happy to commute a little longer to fly something other than 737 (not that it’s a bad plane just been on it for a while)
