Good point. I kind of hate the once yearly seniority recalculation program. I’m sure it works better for what they need, but it makes seniority analyses increasingly inaccurate the later it gets in the (seniority calendar) year.

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.

Which tab in CCS? I thought I had checked out every tab on CCS but I have never come across DOH before.

It's in shares. Just put in any JA-(any employee number), and it will show the board date.

He is merely pointing out the absurdity that a new hire selecting the 777 can potentially upgrade to 737 CA BEFORE they could legally bid 737 FO.
Ahh, copy.

No. I’ve heard this rational before. It’s all relative. So Jr WB Capt drops 1k. So do we all. What’s the difference?
Are you saying in July they’ll remove those that took early retirement? They didn’t remove them last year.

They’ll remove them when they aren’t sending them a check every month, I believe.
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.

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.)

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.)

This never works anyway because it assumes a static fleet and staffing levels.
