Incorrect El Whalesurfer.....SDF MD-11 is in fact 'by far' the most senior jet

How so? Based on the numbers Boiler posted earlier the 3 most junior pilots in MIA were hired this year. However, the 4th guy from the bottom is an '07 hire..

Of course, relative seniority is a fluid term however, for someone hired in 2016 are you saying he/she would've had a better relative seniority in MIA versus SDF flying the MD? You might be correct but I'd like to understand how you came to this conclusion?

Looks like 18 guys on SDF MD-11 from 2014 to present with 4 of them from the last class. None in ANC though...

I've been on the MD the past 4 years. My relative position from the bottom has changed only slightly.

When there are upgrades/retirements above me, someone senior from another fleet fills that vacancy. So it is pretty stagnant near the bottom.

I'd have better relative seniority on any other SDF fleet, but I don't have the ambition to endure another long-term training cycle for a small seniority jump.

Maybe some movement on all fleets/domiciles when the B747s arrive and MDs start to be parked.

I heard from a consistently accurate source that the MD's are going to be shifted around a bit to provide more domestic lift with no plans to replace or retire them for the time being.

I have heard similar stuff. The rumor I heard is that the MD's will be here for at least 8 more years.

I was basing my comment strictly using the IPA's juniority program on their site. I'm actually an FO that is a '94 hire contemplating an upgrade finally and the MD SDF is by far the 'most senior'.

Bottom 4 in MIA were hired in: '07, '15, '15, and '16.

And your answer to schedule question: Night Turns with no continuity. MIA currently builds 9-10 of these lines each month. Most months, these go junior.

Lines are built with no more than 4 in a row of flying, block of days off, etc.

What's life like for a junior pilot on the bottom of the seniority list on the SDF 767 Z? How long until you would be able to hold a line?
