Hey, I live in CLE and they have been offering CLE 737 in the most recent class drops. Given how senior CLE has been anyone know how long it would take to hold a line in CLE.

Trying to decide if I should commute to a line in EWR or if I should hold out for a line in CLE.

Today’s new hire class (Jan 18th, 2022) is 72 pilots. They are being offered FO on everything we fly. 737, Airbus, 757/767, 777 and 787 FO in almost every base. Congrats!

Do not pass up a CLE bid. Reserve in base > commute to a line. Plus who knows how long CLE lasts.

do not commute - even if it means reserve

you can always trade out of CLE later on if you like to. Odds are you will not be able to trade into CLE.

Pure conjecture here, but my crystal ball tells me they will continue to grow CLE a bit as a pilot base.
They know, at this point, that they can’t fill NB CA slots at EWR. If they offer 15 more slots in CLE, they’ll have more than enough takers. The good news for junior CLE FOs is that all those new CLE CAs will (mostly) come from the top of the CLE FO list.
Same goes for DEN and IAH, but those bases are more complicated by having multiple fleets.
CLE is likely pretty straightforward to predict.

I’ve read back about a month and haven’t seen a whole lot of references to IAH. I was wondering what that bases looks like seniority wise? Sounds like all fleet types are there?

Lowest cost of living in base = highest seniority level at every level

Junior lineholder is a mid 2019 hire as of this date in IAH. New hires can usually hold a line within a month or two of finishing training in SFO/EWR.
