I think you’re referring to maxgumby.com. I’ve always been curious why that site exists. Never used it.

787DEN for NH?
I see all the 737 and 320 logic to get to DEN the fastest. I too live in DEN and will be starting soon. If a NH went 787, how long would it take said person to get to DEN? Ballpark guess is fine base on hire date of the most Jr FO on the 78 in DEN. Thanks.

If you end up on the 78, plan on commuting to the coastal bases for awhile….

I’d guess a couple years until your seat lock in SFO/EWR is up and you take the NB DEN position you could have gotten much faster if you’d bid it in indoc. 756 might give you a fighting chance. Only the 777 is a worse option than 787 for getting to DEN. Also every instructor at TK will go to line ahead of you.

To answer your question, if the vacancy bid closed today the most jr DEN78FO would be 13,49x, which is probably 1 year. There's still a chance those folks get bumped though. For comparison, the G Line on 73 is 14,400 on 73's and 14,631 on 320's. Commute to global reserve on a NB that you could get to DEN and hold a line much faster than getting to DEN in a 78? For the same year 1 pay? For no global reserve requirement? And then when you see you are able to get DEN78FO you can just put in a vacancy bid and get there at probably the exact same time? You can do what you want, but that doesn't seem worth it on the first 2 year pay. Wide body flying will still be here in 2 years, just hang tight. When a new contract comes and incentivizes WB FO's to go NB CA you'll see it coming and be equally positioned to take advantage of that movement

I start class next month as well with the goal of DEN. I would imagine the 737 is the path to faster seniority progression because of deliveries (growth). However, as a younger dude, and looking at the recent drops, it seems that 320 SFO/EWR might be what I get if I can avoid the 777.

Guys that have CJO's can look at the pairings for different BES so they have some idea of what they might be getting into for their initial class bid. Especially since they can't look at CCS. Got a pretty good sort feature too to see destinations. Doesn't work for me with Google Chrome but works fine with Firefox and Edge.
