dont really understand your question. Are you asking how long on reserve, or how long until you can hold a flying seat? Because those are two very different answers. On reserve for a few years, holding a flying seat consistently, maybe 15 years? Maybe you could hold a line with only domestic sooner than that. But odds are once off reserve you will be a bunky for a long time, especially if international comes back to what it was.

Are there any relatively quick upgrades for DCA(73/320) similar to that of the unfilled EWR & SFO CA vacancies on the recent awards?

Great, thanks. Pretty even split between 737 & 320 or are most of the DCA CA vacancies favoring the Guppy?

Uncertain. Was asking about the most recent bids.

In the last vacancy, there were 5 unfilled bus bids and 17 guppy. In the previous bid there were none.

Interesting.....could we contrast that with the EWR NB CA vacancies?

Thanks.

Three bids ago (September, and I’d been trying since March) I couldn’t hold DCA Airbus Captain despite having almost 14 years of seniority at the time. The last bid (December) had unfilled vacancies. Just a little insight into how fast things are changing here right now.
