Welcome back.

I was disappointed by how senior it has been going. Hoping more bids will loosen things up.
Thanks for the welcome. I am looking forward to returning.

Sorry if this was mentioned recently but what is the junior aircraft in ORD and currently how long does it take to get there? thanks

Right now its the 320, I believe this last bid or the one before it had people still in training awarded ORD. The 737 there is at about a year seniority currently.

Ya just know that it has gone back and forth. When I was hired in ‘15 it was the opposite, Guppy was the quickest way to ORD and quickest way to a line...

Last vacancy shows junior 320 FO is 67 seniority numbers from the most junior 737 FO. 737 being the more senior of the two.

I was hired in March of last year and my first month in ORD was January this year. 320.

True... but the drop dead date you mention is only valid if we are still hiring in 2019... if not hiring they are not required to recall any pilots. I think there are a lot of pilots planning on waiting to the last possible class... no guarantees classes will be available.

Thanks. Any word on growing the 320 or 73 in ORD?
