Vacancy Bid 2204-V2
#191
Also keep in mind that that 5500 seniority WB captain is actually around 4800 due to the retirements we had between July of last year and today. His (and yes-it is a he) seniority will be updated again in July when we do our annual seniority list update and thus the most junior WB captain will not be in the 5000 range but rather in the high 4000 range. Make sense?

I also wish the company would post a DOH seniority list, at least for the post-merger hires. I understand that it’s a big secret so the L-XYZ pilots don’t resent the L-ABC pilots……but at some point it’s relevant information to the rest of us.

That information (board date) is available in CCS, just not in a list.

Are you saying in July they’ll remove those that took early retirement? They didn’t remove them last year.

Your point still stands about all things being relative, however. It’s not like those guys being removed from the list is going to create any new vacancies.

Since seniority projections display in a month to month format- not annually- if you want to make an “apples to apples” forecast of when you’ll be at the same seniority point as today’s 5500 pilot, it would be more be more accurate to look at when you’ll hit 4800, rather than 5500.
(To be clear, I’m using the numbers presented in the post referenced- I haven’t run the numbers on 5500’s seniority.)

I think the difference is if you’re expecting to make WB CA when you hit 5500, that number isn’t fully accurate, since it last updated around 6 months ago. Also, considering early out pilots, the disparity between his company seniority & his bidding seniority may be much higher than it will be when you reach that same number. (I.e., his 5500 represents 4800 bidding seniority, but your eventual 5500 may actually represent 5300 bidding seniority, etc.)
