Allow me to channel Carnac the Magnificent: I see a lot of unfilled SFO fifi and guppy vacancies for newhires...

Don’t know about unfilled vacancies but the report says that there is a vacancy that opens today. Almost exclusively wide body slots which is always good!

Thanks! Just logged on to CCS after reading your post and saw the announcement. Copy/paste didn't work out great but here it is:
VACANCY Captain First Officer
DCA 787 CA 10 DCA 787 FO 10
SFO 787 CA 20 SFO 787 FO 25
DEN 787 CA 2 DEN 787 FO 4
DCA 777 CA 6 EWR 787 FO 10
EWR 777 CA 3 IAH 777 FO 6
IAH 777 CA 6 DCA 777 FO 6
ORD 777 CA 3 SFO 777 FO 30
SFO 777 CA 12 EWR 756 FO 10
GUM 737 CA 3 SFO 756 FO 10

LAX 756 FO 10
ORD 320 FO 4
IAH 320 FO 4
EWR 320 FO 4

With min/max, this should eventually translate into a ton of unfilled SFO vacancies by the time the bid closes.

Relative seniority already shows 10 month dudes holding 777FO, at least on the interweb....pretty exciting times!

The circle of life. LCAL had a captain show up for a 777 trip to be greeted by 3 FOs still on probation. Fully qualified and typed, but he raised the “issue” later and the company started an informal study about why senior pilots weren’t bidding junior lines, including having a 2-year captain on the 737. Everyone but the leadership knew the answer—horrendous work rules that are always scale tougher as juniority increases. Duh. The economy crashed before “they” figured it out. Problem solved.

Now it’s just because of growth I suppose.

I just looked at the Relative Seniority chart, some of the numbers aren’t correct resulting in skewed percentages. It says I can even hold my BES, where I’m 80%. Same with other bases, which I know I can hold.

Humm, not so sure about that. The most jr SFO 777 FO is 11307 (Jr Man Table). I’m guessing that’s at least 2 yrs with company. But with 30 openings...hope that holds out for new hires that want it! Don’t be surprised when the Final comes out and the relative seniority is back to >100%.

All in all, it's a great time to get hired at the lazy U. We're behind in staffing and we've finally got a management team that actually wants to grow the airline.
