November most likely....

I don't know why DEN people are surprised. It went so junior for awhile with tons of brand new people bidding CA, shouldn't be a surprise that more senior people are now coming in and pushing things down.

Wow… I just looked at what 50% seniority got you there. I had no idea it was so junior.

Is there a wing ceremony for upgrade people? If so when in the training?

yes after Captain class. So it’s before you go to training.

It's on Friday after charm school. The captains get their wings after the new hire plots.

put another way the seniority list is still correcting itself from 2 years ago.

This is not correct.

DCA756CA has a new plug.

Huh? It never said that at all. We had 810 unfilled vacancies on the last bid. That's going to keep new hire going for a while unless we want to be short in a bunch of FO categories. We had a new hire class last week, we have one this week, we have one next week, and they are giving out April classes now.

Class sizes are running 60-70 new hires right now.

I don’t know how you came to that conclusion. They only talk about captain upgrades. Seems like they have the staffing needs covered but there are still a significant amount of unfilled first Officer positions they will hire for.
