Agree about snapshots. Good points, thanks for sharing.

No problem! Hope my post didn’t sound condescending.

I’ve already changed my mind 2 times since I’ve posted. Thinking if that’s the case I’ll sit this one out.

I get the distinct impression that IAH is very senior compared to the other domiciles. Since (73/320)upgrade would be a considerable number of years, if someone was to bid B756 in IAH in the interim, how long would be a realistic wait for that award?

Also, hiring trends will really skew yearly comparisons going forward. Right now, the difference between a new hire & a 6 year guy is around 4,000 seniority numbers. If that 6 year guy looks upwards 4,000 numbers from his position, the disparity in hiring dates could be decades. Assuming current hiring trends continue, today’s new hire will be able to look 4,000 numbers down the list in less than 2 years.

The position of an x-year pilot is today is a pretty poor indicator of where you’ll be in x years.
