According to the bid result, the junior Captain is only 100 numbers junior to the senior FO. So how's that possible when they are hired 6 years apart?

Did I read that wrong?

You are right. The senior FO is an XJT pilot whose DOH is listed as his XJT DOH in 95 because XJT was wholly owned by CAL so he was a CAL employee, just in a different department. But he began work at the mainline in 5/99 so that makes more sense that he's only 100 numbers from a 2/01 hire on the seniority list for bidding purposes.

We have the same thing at United. If someone was hired in 1995 as a flight attendant, then as a pilot in 1999 they get credit for those years for pass travel, etc, but they weren't mainline pilots until they started at mainline, so their actual seniority is based on that.

Kind of surprised he ended up at CAL. I thought he may have felt tied to the flow-thru and didn't explore his options. You know like Delta, American and UNITED.

Are you "Sergeant of Arms" Tonight?

I was not hired from XJET but spent my time as a furlough ("flowback") at XJT. Great group of folks BTW. Very unified. First pilot group to get a plus-up contract post 9/11, in 2004 I believe. Everyone else was BK or concessions.

Appears to be more connected and informed than the average CAL pilot. I didn't mean to offend you.
