Airtran pilots

Anybody know how junior or senior the MKE base went ?
Thanks.

MKE 737 Captain only went a few numbers below the most junior ATL captains. Not sure if any of the new hires were given MKE right out of class. I think we had enough guys that were on property voluntarily bid the 28 MKE 737 FO positions when the vacancy was put out about 3 months ago.

Thanks.
Any plans to expand the size of the MKE pilot base ?

I would think so. It obviously depends on how much expansion we do in MKE (we just added a couple flights a day to DFW from MKE this month and think we are up to around 60 departures a day) as well as how more Apple Vacation stuff we get. Some Saturdays, FTWeb shows us launching 5 737s to Mexico.
